Henry I the Bald (died 11 May 976), Count of Stade, son of Lothar II, Count of Stade, 
and Swanhild of Saxony. Henry is recorded as a cousin of Otto I, Holy Roman 
Emperor, but their exact relationship remains a mystery. Henry was also appointed 
Count of Heilangau, the ancient capital of Stade, in 959.

Apparently, when Henry’s father died at the Battle of Lenzen, the county of Stade was 
taken by Wichmann the Elder and his two sons, not to return to the family of Lothar 
until 967. Henry's grandson Thietmar of Merseburg recounts that Henry tried to 
capture Margrave Hermann Billung because of “arrogance” in ceremonial matters, but 
failed.

Henry married first Judith von der Wetterau (925-973), sister of Conrad I, Duke of 
Swabia. Their father was either Conrad or Udo, son of Gebbard, Duke of Lorraine. 
Henry married second Hildegard von Reinhausen, daughter of Elli I, Count of 
Reinhausen.

Henry and Judith had seven children:
Henry II the Good, Count of Stade
Lothair Udo I, Count of Stade
Gerberg von Stade (d. 1000), married Dietrich I, Count of Querfurt. Their son was 
Dietrich, Bishop of Münster.
Kunigunde von Stade (956-997), married Siegfried I the Older, Count of Walbeck. 
Their son was Thietmar, Prince-Bishop of Merseburg, chronicler of the Ottonian 
dynasty of Germany and the Holy Roman Empire.
Herwig von Stade
Emnilde von Stade
Siegfried II, Count of Stade.

Henry and Hildegard had one child:
Hildegarde von Stade (974- 3 October 1011), married Bernard I, Duke of Saxony, son 
of Hermann Billung, Margrave of the Billung March, and his wife Countess Oda.

Henry was succeeded as Count of Stade by his brother Siegfried I. The date of 
succession is unclear, but possibly as early as 973.
