Two of his maternal uncles were the later Pope Calixtus II and Raymond of Burgundy, Count of Coimbra and husband of the future Queen Urraca of Castile and Leon.

In the first months of 1096, Henry and his cousin Raymond of Burgundy, husband of Queen Urraca, reached an agreement whereby each swore under oath that Raymond would give Henry the kingdom of Toledo and one-third of the royal treasury after King Alfonso's death and, if that was not possible, Henry would receive the kingdom of Galicia, while Henry, in turn, promised to support his cousin Raymond in securing all of the king's dominions and two-thirds of the treasury.

Upon the death of King Alfonso, Henry and Theresa continued governing these lands south of the Minho, and later, in December 1111 under the reign of Queen Urraca, were also governing Zamora.

At first, Theresa and Henry were vassals of her father, but Alfonso VI died in 1109, leaving everything to his legitimate daughter, Queen Urraca of Castile.

In 1116, in an effort to expand her power, Theresa fought her half-sister, Queen Urraca.

Urraca ( April 1079 – 8 March 1126 ) was Queen regnant of León, Castile, and Galicia, and claimed the imperial title as suo jure Empress of All the Spains from 1109 until her death in childbirth, as well as Empress of All Galicia.
