Henry of Wierzbna (, ; probably before 1270 â 23 September 1319) was a Bishop of Wrocà Âaw in Poland in 1302âÂÂ1319.
He was born into the Wierzbna noble family of Würben toward the end of the 1260s and was the third and youngest son of John, the Castellan of Ryczyna in Silesia.
He was made a Canon of Wrocà Âaw on 31 August 1290 and supported King Wenceslaus II of Bohemia and his relative Jan Muskata, Bishop of Kraków in the dynastic struggles of the day.
He was made bishop in 1302 by Pope Boniface VIII and he was the first of the Bishops of Wrocà Âaw to take the princely title.
His time in office was notable for his organization of a Court of the Inquisition in 1315, the result of which included burning at the stake more than 50 people convicted of heresy in the towns of Wrocà Âaw, Swidnica and Nysa. His inquisition was particularly against Beguines and Beghards.
He died on 23 September 1319. and was buried in the Wrocà Âaw Cathedral. Due to competing claims a replacement Bishop was not appointed for seven years following his death and the diocese was administered by his canon Nicholas of Banz.
