Henri de Dreux

Representation of Henri de Dreux on a stained glass window of the Notre-Dame de Reims cathedral.

Henri de Dreux[1] (1193–1240) was Archbishop of Reims from 1227 to 1240. He is commemorated by a window in Reims Cathedral.

He was an active builder, but his local taxation provoked a revolt in 1233.[2]

He was a son of Robert II of Dreux[3] and Yolande de Coucy.
