https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Henry_of_Speyer
Henry of Speyer (German: Heinrich von Speyer, also Heinrich von Worms; c.?970 – 
989/992), a member of the Salian dynasty, was count in the Rhenish Franconian 
Wormsgau. He was the father of Emperor Conrad II.

According to the 977 donation deed of Lambrecht Abbey, Henry was the eldest son of 
Count Otto von Worms (d. 1004), Duke of Carinthia from 978 to 983 and again from 
995, and his wife Judith. He married Adelaide of Metz (d. 1039/46), a sister of the 
Lorraine counts Gerhard III and Adalbert II. The marriage produced a son, Conrad 
(c.?990 – 1039), who was elected King of the Romans in 1024 and crowned Holy 
Roman Emperor three years later, and a daughter, Judith. Henry's younger brother 
Bruno was elected Pope Gregory V in 996, his brother Conrad I succeeded their father 
as Duke of Carinthia in 1004.

Little is known of Henry's life, since he died at around the age of 20, even 
predeceasing his father Otto. He is buried in Worms Cathedral along with his daughter 
Judith. Adelaide outlived her husband by many years; she secondly married another 
Franconian count, possibly from the Elder House of Babenberg (Popponids), and died 
in 1046.
