Henry was the eldest son of Henry of Lipá, though the exact date of his birth remains unknown. He is first mentioned in 1316 as defending the town of Zittau.[2] He participated in politics as his father rose to prominence, and married Agnes of Blankenheim in 1321, a relative of John of Bohemia.[3] He was governor of Bohemia from 1322 to 1325.[2] He began to build his estate, as he acquired the lands of Rychvald and Žampach.[1]
After the death of his father in 1329, Henry was again appointed governor and served as Supreme Marshal of the Kingdom of Bohemia. He was named chamberlain in 1335.[4] Given his brother Jan was appointed Supreme Marshal in 1336, he is assumed to have died that year.[4]
Henry was the father of Henry III of Lipá.[1]
