BIOGRAPHY
Hendrik was born in 1165 in Leuven, the son of Godfried III, duke of Lower-Lorraine, and Margaretha von Limburg. He became duke of Brabant in 1183/1184 and succeeded his father as duke of Lower-Lorraine in 1190. The predecessor to Brabant was the duchy of Lower-Lorraine that had been created in 959. This duchy included the larger part of Belgium and parts of Western Germany but it soon disintegrated into smaller counties and 'Duke of Lower-Lorraine' became a meaningless title. One of these counties was Leuven, whose counts were also dukes of Lower-Lorraine in the periods 1106-1128 and 1139-1190. Hendrik I transformed these two possessions into the duchy of Brabant in 1190.

Before 30 March 1180, Hendrik I married Mathilde de Boulogne et Alsace, daughter of Marie de Blois, Comtesse de Boulogne and Matthieu d'Alsace. Hendrik and Mathilde had six children of whom five had progeny, including his elder son and heir Hendrik II, who married Maria von Hohenstaufen, daughter of Philipp von Hohenstaufen, King of The Romans, the son of Emperor Friedrich I Barbarossa. Mathilde died about 1210, and on 22 April 1213 Hendrik I married Marie de France, daughter of Philippe II August, king of France and Agnès de Meran. Hendrik I and Marie had two daughters, of whom Elisabeth would have progeny.

Hendrik I instituted town policy and planning. His attention was drawn into regions lending themselves to the extension of his sovereignty, and in some of these he used the creation of a new town as an instrument in their political organisation. Among the towns to which the duke gave city rights and trade privileges was 's-Hertogenbosch. The city owes its official name to 'des hertogen bosch' - the duke's woods. The duke in question was Hendrik I. He granted 's-Hertogenbosch city rights and trade privileges in 1185 to protect his own interests against Gelre and Holland.

Hendrik died in the German city of Cologne on 5 September 1235. He was buried in St. Pieters chapter church at Leuven.
