	Rudolph II of Burgundy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Rudolf II (died July 11, 937) was king of Upper Burgundy (912–937), Lower Burgundy (Provence) (933–937), and Italy (effective, 922–926—claim abandoned 933).
		Following his ascension to the throne in 912, Rudolf was asked by several Italian nobles to intervene in Italy on their behalf against Emperor Berengar in 922.
		To prevent this, Hugh and Rudolf signed a treaty in 933, granting Rudolf rule of Lower Burgundy in exchange for his renunciation of all claims on the Italian throne.

	Burgundy
		Burgundy (French Bourgogne) is a historic region of France, inhabited in turn by Celts, Gauls, Romans and Gallo-Romans, and various Germanic peoples, most importantly the Burgundians and the Franks.
		Burgundy was a province of France until 1790.
		The duchy soon became a major rival to the French throne, because the Dukes of Burgundy succeeded in assembling an empire stretching from Switzerland to the North Sea, mostly by marriage.

	Conrad II - LoveToKnow Watches
		In 1030 Ernest of Swabia was killed in battle; and in September 1032 the king of Burgundy died, and his kingdom was at once seized by his nephew Odo, count of Champagne.
		Collecting an army, Conrad marched into Burgundy in 1033, was chosen and crowned king of Peterlingen, and after driving his rival from the land was again crowned at Geneva in 1034.
		Its boundaries were extended by the acquisition of Burgundy and the reconquest of Lusatia; disturbances of the peace became fewer and were more easily suppressed than heretofore; and three of the duchies, Bavaria, Franconia and Swabia, were made apanages of the royal house.

	Burgundy
		His son and successor, Rudolf II, was able about 931 to conclude a treaty with Hugh of Provence, successor of Boso's son Louis the Blind, whereby he extended his rule over the entire regnum Burgundiae except the areas west of the Saône.
		This union of Upper and Lower Burgundy was bequeathed in 1032 to the German king and emperor Conrad II and became known from the 13th century as the kingdom of Arles - the name Burgundy being increasingly reserved for the county of Burgundy (Cisjurane Burgundy) and for the duchy of Burgundy.
		The duchy of Burgundy was that part of the regnum Burgundiae west of the Saône River and was recovered from Boso by the French Carolingians and remained a part of the kingdom of France.

	Hugh of Italy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Hugh of Arles was born sometime before 887, the son of Theobald of Arles and of Bertha, illegitimate daughter of Lothar II of Lotharingia and thus a fifth generation descendant of Charlemagne..
		However, Hugh first came to prominence in his native Provence as effective regent at Arles for king Louis the Blind, in the years after Louis's ultimately disastrously unsuccessful attempt between 900 and 905 to add the throne of Italy to that of Provence and subsequent blinding by Berengar of Friuli.
		He concluded a treaty with Rudolf in 933 by which Rudolf abandoned his claims to Italy in return for being handed Provence over the heads of Louis the Blind's heirs and the marriage of Rudolf's daughter Adelaide to Hugh's son Lothar II of Arles.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Rudolf of Habsburg
		Rudolf was shrewd enough to abstain from attempting forcibly to increase his constitutional powers, and contented himself with preserving such domains and rights as were still left to the crown.
		But it was not the warlike measures of Rudolf, but the defeat of Siegfried near Worringen in 1288 by the Duke of Brabant in the quarrel concerning the inheritance of Duke Walram of Limburg that curbed the ambitious efforts of the archbishop.
		Rudolf was more successful in his efforts (1289) to settle the disputes in the House of Wettin.
