He was the last member of the Ottonian dynasty of Emperors. He married Cunigunde of Luxembourg, who later became his queen and empress. As the union produced no children, after Henry's death the German nobles elected Conrad II, a great-great-grandson of Emperor Otto I, to succeed him. Conrad was the first of the Salian dynasty of Emperors. ## Related artworks - [Adam and Eve]() - [Assumption of the Virgin \(detail\)]() - [Eve]() - [Holy Blood Altarpiece]() - [Mary Magdalen with two Angels]() - [Mary's Altar \(detail\)]() - [Mary's Altar]() - [Mary's Altar]() - [Noli me tangere]() - [Salome]() - [Seated Bishop]() - [St John]() ## Attribution [Web Gallery of Art]()
