Name Suffix: Holy Roman Emper

Hertug av Schwaben 1057 - 1080.
Motkonge av Tyskland 1077 - 1080.
Han ble første gang gift i 1059 med Mathilde av Tyskland (1045 - 1060).
Rudolf, som var hertug av Schwaben fra 1057, ble 15.03.1077 valgt til motkonge
mot Henrik IV. På det møte i Forchheim hvor han ble valgt av de opprørske tyske fyrster, måtte
han love at Tyskland heretter skulle være et valgrike og at kongen skulle velges av fyrstene.
Han lovet biskopene kanoniske valg.
Han slo Henrik ved Mellrichstadt 07.08.1078 og ved Forchheim 27.01.1080.
Rudolf døde i oktober 1080 i Merseburg av de sår han dagen før hadde fått under
slaget ved Mölsen mot Henrik IV.

Rudolf was granted the duchy of Swabia in 1057 by the dowager Empress Agnes
of Poitou, regent for infant son Henry IV. Rudolf was also appointed by Agnes
administrator of the kingdom of Burgundy and gave him her daughter Matilda in
marriage, 1059. Rudolf later turned against the king, Henry IV, and was
elected German anti-king by an assembly of dissident princes in March 1077
and crowned two months later at Mainz. The townspeople, loyal to King Henry,
rioted, forcing Rudolf to flee to Saxony. Later, he died of battle wounds.

Rudolf of Rheinfeld
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Rudolph of Rheinfelden (German: Rudolf von Rheinfelden; c. 1025 – 15 October 1080), was Duke of Swabia (1057–1079) and German antiking (1077–1080). He was the son of Count Kuno of Rheinfelden.

In 1057 Rudolf allegedly took advantage of the minority of German King Henry IV by kidnapping Matilda, the king's sister. Rudolf demanded, and received, Matilda's hand in marriage (1059), as well as the Duchy of Swabia and administration of the Kingdom of Burgundy. In 1060 Matilda died, and Rudolf subsequently, in 1066, married Adelheid, daughter of Otto of Savoy. Rudolph's daughter Adelaide married Ladislaus I of Hungary.

Rudolf, who was brother-in-law to Henry IV twice over, at first supported the king's campaigns. He aided him in Thuringia and Saxony and was a primary force in the First Battle of Langensalza against the rebels. However, when the Investiture Controversy broke out and Henry was excommunicated, Rudolf met with several other nobles to decide on a course of action. Despite the lifting of Henry's excommunication in 1077, the rebels continued with their plans. At Forchheim, Rudolf was elected antiking in March. He promised to respect the electoral concept of the monarchy and declared his willingness to be subservient to the pope.

On 25 May, Rudolf was crowned by Archbishop Siegfried I in Mainz, but the people of the city revolted and he was forced to flee to Saxony. This presented a problem, since Saxony was cut off from his duchy of Swabia by the king's lands. He then gave Swabia to his son Berthold and attempted to rectify this situation by besieging Würzburg, but to little effect. Meanwhile, he was deprived of Swabia by the Diet at Ulm in May, and Henry IV gave the duchy to Frederick of Büren, the first Hohenstaufen ruler.

The battle of Mellrichstadt in the following year (7 August) proved indecisive. Rudolf found it difficult to convince the Saxons to fight beyond their borders; they viewed Rudolf as a southerner and distrusted him. He was also frustrated by the apparent reluctance of the Pope to recognize his cause. In order to gain and maintain supporters, he was forced to grant large parts of the crown lands, as well as those of the church, to his followers. Nevertheless, things seemed to be improving in 1080. The battle of Flarchheim (27 January 1080) went well in his favor. On 7 March, the Pope finally excommunicated Henry again and recognized Rudolf as king.

Emboldened, his forces met Henry's at the Elster River. The battle, which took place on 14 October, would have been a huge victory for the anti-royalists. However, in the battle Rudolf lost his right hand and was mortally wounded in the abdomen. He withdrew to nearby Merseburg, where he died the next day and was buried. The rebellion against King Henry soon evaporated.

From 1077-1080, Germany was roiled by the Investiture Contest, a competition between king and pope, which left local lords unchecked and free to engage in a massive land and property grab, especially regarding monasteries. The duke of Swabia, Rudolf, was even elected the anti-king during this time, but never gained widespread acceptance. [Ref: A quick history of Suevia (Swabia) http://art1.candor.com/barbarian/suevi.htm]
Although the pope insisted that the matter was not at all settled, yet Henry (IV, King of Germany, Holy Roman Emperor) was a free man and his subjects were bound to obey him. He carefully prevented the pope from going to Germany and soon gained powerful support from the Lombards. Nevertheless his opponents in Germany met in 1077 and elected an anti-king, Rudolf of Swabia. But Rudolf found support only in Saxony, and his own subjects refused to obey him. A long and bloody struggle ensued during which Germany was devastated. Finally, in 1080, Gregory renewed the ban against Henry; but this time the excommunication had practically no effect; few of Henry's supporters left him. In fact, the tide had turned In strongly in the king's favor and most of the bishops and archbishops declared Gregory deposed and elected an anti-pope.
Continuance Of the Struggle. The struggles which ensued, now that there were two rival kings and two rival popes, were exceedingly bloody. In all portions of Germany except Saxony, in northern Italy and in the city of Rome, the people were divided. In Germany Henry could count upon the support of the cities which he had especially favored and which were now very important; of the parish priests, except in Saxony, because of Gregory's attitude toward their marriage; and of many of the bishops. In opposition to the nobles who were against him he had put other men in their places so that each noble had to struggle against a rival claimant. In northern Italy, where bishops appointed by Henry were in power, the orthodox were on Henry's side and the numerous heretics against him. In the city of Rome the nobles aided Henry and the common people sided with the pope. Civil war, marked by the greatest atrocities, ravaged a large part of Germany. In 1080 a great and bloody battle was fought between Rudolf and Henry, in which the former lost his life, after having his right hand cut off in the fight. This was judged by many to be a decision from heaven in favor of Henry. A contemporary chronicler reports that Rudolf said as he was dying, holding up his mutilated arm, " Look, this is the hand with which I swore fealty to my king."

Rudolf of Rheinfelden

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

(Redirected from Rudolf von Rheinfeld)

Rudolf of Rheinfelden (German: Rudolf von Rheinfelden; c. 1025 – 15 October 1080) was Duke of Swabia (1057–1079) and German antiking (1077–1080). He was the son of Count Kuno of Rheinfelden and eventually became the alternative king or antiking for the politically oriented anti-Henry German aristocrats, whose rebellion became known as the Great Saxon Revolt. He died as a result of battle wounds as his faction met Henrys' and defeated him in the Battle of Elster.

In 1057 Rudolf allegedly took advantage of the minority of Henry IV, King of the Romans, by kidnapping Matilda, the king's sister. Rudolf demanded, and received, Matilda's hand in marriage (1059), as well as the Duchy of Swabia and administration of the Kingdom of Burgundy. In 1060 Matilda died, and Rudolf subsequently, in 1066, married Adelheid, daughter of Otto of Savoy.

He aided him in Thuringia and Saxony and was a primary force in the First Battle of Langensalza against the rebels.

Emboldened, Rudolf's forces met Henry's at the Weisse-Elster River in the battle of Elster. The battle, which took place on 14 October 1080, would have been a huge victory for the anti-royalists. However, Rudolf lost his right hand in the battle and was mortally wounded in the abdomen. He withdrew to nearby Merseburg, where he died the next day and was buried. The majority of the support for the rebellion against Henry IV soon evaporated, but the struggle continued on in effect into 1085, with a final flare up in 1088 under Rudolph's successor, the second antiking, Herman of Luxembourg.

Rudolph's daughter Adelaide married Ladislaus I of Hungary.

Antiking: is a would-be king who, due to succession disputes or simple political opposition, declares himself king in opposition to a reigning monarch. Antikings are more often found in elected monarchies than in hereditary monarchies like those of England and France; they are most commonly referred to in the politics of the Holy Roman Empire down to the beginning of the 15th century. The term is comparable to Antipope, a rival would-be Pope, and indeed the two phenomena are related; just as German kings and emperors sometimes raised up antipopes to politically weaken Popes with whom they were in conflict, so too Popes sometimes sponsored antikings as political rivals to emperors with whom they disagreed.
