Isn't his name Jindřich in Czecz dub?
And Индржих in Russian.
So, he's only called Henry in English version, because English-speaking people are not able to understand Slavic names.
He's called 'Henry' because 'Jindřich' is a native Czech form of the German 'Heinrich' developed during the middle ages while the Czechs were ruled by Germans. Henry, Henri, Heinrich, etc. originally come from the Proto-Germanic 'Haimarīks', which means "home-ruler". This is why Henry and its various forms have traditionally been royal names.

PERHAPS IT IS MEANINGFUL BECAUSE HENRY HAS NOBLE BLOOD?????

Jindřich always sounded for me more like Jędrek or Jędrzej rather than Henryk.
Could be the same reason why Russians have "Gitler" instead of "Hitler". Jindrich easily can be Hindrich and that's very close to Hinrich, which is a version of Heinrich.

Looks like Henry has straight-up Kill combos now. Shankin' people left and right. Also, damn the step-up in visual quality for cutscenes is nuts.

Are they seriously introducing a whole new female character, who's gonna play Theresa's exact role, except she's not Theresa? I'm mad. I want my miller wife.

Never forget that Warhorse is a Czech studio. Whatever political colors they may decorate themselves in, their goal is ultimately to spread atheism and degeneracy - playing a devout, monogomous Christian hero is anathema to them. I imagine if they tried to write Henry as being pious in any way - filial, romantic, religious, whatever - their keyboards would literally start scalding their fingers.
