In the Welf genealogy, he is counted as Welf V. LifeWelf was the oldest son of Welf I, Duke of Bavaria, and his wife Judith of Flanders.{{sfn|Luscombe|Riley-Smith|2006|p=755}} In 1088[3] or 1089,[4] when Welf was still a teenager, he married Matilda of Tuscany,{{sfn|Luscombe|Riley-Smith|2006|p=755}} who was more than twenty years older than him, in order to strengthen the relation between his family and the pope during the Investiture Controversy between king and pope.[5] During King Henry IV's Italian campaign of 1090, Welf and Matilda fought against the King. Sometime after April 1095, Welf and Matilda separated from each other. It is not clear whether Welf left Matilda, or vice versa.[6] It is possible that Welf left Matilda after he found out that she had willed her lands to the papacy and he could not expect to inherit them.[7] Together with his father, he changed sides to that of King Henry IV, possibly in exchange for a promise of succeeding his father as duke of Bavaria.[8] After his father's death in 1101 Welf indeed inherited the office of duke of Bavaria. He continued his alliance with the kings of Germany. Although separated from Matilda, he remained married to her until her death in 1115. Thereafter he did not remarry and died childless in 1120. He was succeeded as duke of Bavaria by his younger brother, Henry IX. Welf was buried at Weingarten Abbey.
