Editing Henry Probus (section)

===Early life and tutelage===
A minor upon the early death of his father in 1266, Henry IV was placed under the guardianship of his paternal uncle, Archbishop [[Władysław of Salzburg]]. The Archbishop decided that the constant travels between [[Wrocław]] and [[Salzburg]] were inappropriate for a child, and, in 1267, sent Henry to [[Prague]] to be raised at the court of King [[Ottokar II of Bohemia]]. Ottokar after Władysław's death in 1270 also took over Wrocław.

Shortly after the death of his uncle (who left him as his universal heir), Henry IV returned to Wrocław, where he found himself under the direct care of one of the closest advisers of his late father, Simon Gallicusa. Henry IV received a careful education, which may explain his subsequent interest in culture and poetry (there are reasonable suspicions that the Duke had [[asperger syndrome]]). The cooperation between Henry IV and King Ottokar II was exemplary. In 1271 Henry IV participated in an armed expedition against [[Kingdom of Hungary|Hungary]], which brought an attack on Wrocław by the [[Árpád dynasty|Árpád]] princes and their allies, the Dukes of [[Duchy of Greater Poland|Greater]] and [[Seniorate Province|Lesser Poland]].

In 1273 Henry IV was formally proclaimed an adult and by himself assumed the government of his Silesian Duchy of Wrocław, which, however, after the split between [[Duchy of Opole|Opole]], [[Duchy of Legnica|Legnica]] and [[Duchy of Głogów|Głogów]] only comprised the eastern part of the [[Lower Silesia]]n lands. He began to follow a policy which was more independent from Bohemia, including in respect to friendly relations with his [[Upper Silesia]]n cousin Duke [[Władysław Opolski|Władysław of Opole]] and also with duke [[Przemysł II]] of Greater Poland.
