He was the son of a margrave (medieval title for the military commander assigned to maintain the defense of one of the border provinces of a kingdom -he had autonomy of action (political, strategic, tactical) greater than was accorded other lords of the realm -which increased his political strength and independence relative to the monarch.

He married Oda, daughter of a Frankish princeps, by marrying a Frankish nobleman’s daughter, he followed suggestions set forth by Charlemagne about ensuring the integrity of the Carolingian Empire in the aftermath of the Saxon Wars through marriage… after a pilgrimage to Rome, they founded a house of holy canonesses… their daughter Hathumoda became the monasteries first abbess. His daughter 34th g-aunt Liutgard married King Louis the Younger, second son of King Louis the German. Henry the Fowler is buried in his proprietary monastery of Brunshausen.

c 989, Peace and Truce of God formed; the first movement of the Catholic Church using spiritual means to limit private war, and the first movement in medieval Europe to control society through non-violent means. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peace_and_Truce_of_God was a movement in the Middle Ages led by the Catholic Church that applied spiritual sanctions to limit the violence of feuding. It began with very limited provisions in 989 due to the political and territorial upheaval in France caused by the Frankish nobility and the movement survived in some form until the 13th century… After the collapse of the Carolingian empire in the 9th century, France had degenerated into many small counties and lordships, in which local lords and knights frequently fought each other for control. The West Frankish nobility capitalized on the accession of the Carolingian throne and ushered in the Capetian dynasty and further altered French, and by extension, European medieval society… The chaos of the period is attributed to the issue of violent feuding, with the castellans and their milites working towards consolidated power and freedom from the overarching political structure of the Carolingian empire.
