Henry IV Count of Waldeck (c. 1282/1290 – 1 May 1348) was the ruling Count of Waldeck from 1305 to 1344. He was the second ruling count named Henry which is why some authors call him Henry II. However two earlier non-ruling members of the House of Waldeck are usually called Henry II and Henry III and the subject of this article is commonly called Henry IV.He was the eldest son of Otto I and his wife Sophie the daughter of Landgrave Henry I of Hesse.
