Does h1 require header as parent?

Does a h1 tag always needs a header tag?

Like the following?

<main>
    <header>
        <h1>Title</h1>
    </header>
</main>

Or is this enough?

<main>
    <h1>Title</h1>
</main>

"Does h1 require header as parent?" NO, it doesn't

"A header element is intended to usually contain the section's heading (an h1–h6 element), but this is not required." source: web spec

see also h1 parents

Any html tag does not need a parent except the table and form tags.

As long as your <h1></h1> is within the <body></body> Tags everything works fine.

But: You shouldn't put any content in the tags, just imports and metadata!

So this is perfectly fine

<html>
    <body>
        <h1> Text </h1>
    </body>
</html>
