Unlike with most European monarchies, his large regnal number does not indicate that he was preceded by 71 previous rulers also named Heinrich. By tradition, all male members of the House of Reuss are named Heinrich, and are numbered by order of birth within the family in general. In the Reuss Younger Line, the numbering system was reset at the beginning of each century; thus Heinrich LXXII's high regnal number is directly related to his having been born close to the end of the eighteenth century.
Heinrich LXXII abdicated in 1848, due to civil unrest in connection with the revolutions that spread through Germany and elsewhere in Europe that year.[1] Because he was the last of his branch of the family,[2] on his death his principality passed to the Prince Reuss zu Schleiz, unifying the lands of the Reuss Younger Line.
