The Condemned?

edit

I note the on this list he is listed as Henry the Condemned. Does anyone know why, and should the moniker be included in this article? History Lunatic (talk) 15:04, 16 February 2022 (UTC)History LunaticReply

Cursory searches of scholarly articles and other sources find no possible link to the epithet 'The Condemned' nor in French 'le Condamné' nor in Luxembourgish 'Veruerteelten'; certainly not in the source from the list article ["Luxembourg, 900-1467". Titles of European hereditary rulers.].
The closest possible thing I could possibly find seems to be a condemnation by (not to) a Henry VI, HRE. ["Emperor Henry VI Takes Over". History of the Germans Podcast.]; there are a lot of Henry VIs so I could feasibly see the conflation.
The oldest edit which adds this epithet is to List of monarchs of Luxembourg in 2005 by User:Kmorozov; the other addition to Tournament of Chauvency is far later. Without a source to untangle this I'd wager this is not so much a [citation needed] incident as perhaps a confusion. I'll comment out the epithet in both, in case a future editor figures this conundrum out; else it shall remain a citogenic mystery.
