Henry was a younger son of Count Berthold I of Tyrol and his wife Agnes(?), a daughter of Count Otto I of Ortenburg. In 1180 he succeeded his father as Tyrolean count, jointly with his brother Berthold II. After Berthold II died in 1181, Henry I ruled alone.

  • a daughter, who married Meinhard II, Count of Gorizia
  • Agnes, married Count Henry II of Eschenlohe (d. 1272)
