Presumed born before 1150, which indicates that Burwin was his heathen name, he received the name Heinrich on baptism. When his father died in 1178, the inheritance was disputed by his cousin, Niklot. During these disputes, the Danes interfered and imprisoned both cousins. However, they were released fter they promissed to divide the lands and acknowledge the Danish king as their overlord; but after Niklot died without any children, all lands were re-united.
Even though their prince had become a Christian, many of the Wenden still adhered to their old religion and, in 1179, rebelled against Christianity by attacking the monastery at Doberan where 78 monks were killed. After his population were depeated by wars, he invited Germans to come and settle in his lands since the farming community especially had suffered.
Heinrich took part in a crusade against the heathen population of Livland and Estonia. [Ref: Leo van de Pas SGM 9/17/1998-A]
