 Rudolf, I Biography | Encyclopedia of World Biography
Rudolf's first task as emperor was to quell Bohemian power, which he accomplished in 1276 at Vienna and again at the battle of Marchfeld in 1278, thus permanently defeating the possibility of Bohemian domination of Germany and the imperial office.
In 1279 Rudolf renounced many of the imperial claims in Italy, gave the Romagna to the Pope, and thoroughly subordinated the powers of the imperial office and its incumbent to the authority of the Church in matters spiritual and temporal.
Rudolf died on July 15, 1291, at Speyer, attempting to the end to establish the house of Hapsburg on the throne, which it would, within 2 centuries, make a virtual family possession.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Pope Honorius IV
Martin IV had allowed King Philip III of France to tax the clergy in France, and in a few dioceses of Germany, one-tenth of their revenues for the space of four years.
The negotiations for Rudolf's imperial coronation which had been begun during the pontificate of Adrian V (1276) and continued during that of Nicholas III (1277-1280) were entirely suspended during the pontificate of Martin IV (1281-1285) who had little love for the Germans.
Immediately upon the accession of Honorius IV these negotiations were resumed and the feast of the Purification of the Blessed Virgin, 2 February, 1287, was determined as the day on which Rudolf should be crowned emperor in the Basilica of St. Peter at Rome.

 The Mission of Rudolf Steiner: Ernst Katz
Rudolf Steiner stated that if anthroposophy would in the future become disassociated from his individuality, then it will become a mere theory, and as such a worse theory than some other theories in the world.
By reading Rudolf Steiner's autobiography as well as accounts of many people who have met him and have worked with him, and by studying his literary and artistic output, one can actually achieve a degree of acquaintance with him that goes deeper than what one would have acquired by meeting him personally in life.
When Rudolf Steiner visited Edouard Schuré in the Alsatian village of Barr, he wrote (at Schuré's request) an autobiographical sketch known as the “Barr document.” Only through this document do we know about Rudolf Steiner's contact with the “Master.” The Barr document can be found (in German) in GA 262, pp.

 William Tell, Tax Rebel - Mises Institute
Count Rudolf II of Habsburg (died 1232) acquired the territories of Schwyz, Uri, Unterwalden and Lucerne.
Rudolf had already been in control of much of the route from the Rhine to Schwyz and Unterwalden as protector of the monasteries there or as the representative of the emperor.
Rudolf's son, Albert, was elected emperor in 1298, and successfully bullied Zurich from joining the League, but the successors of Rudolf—Adolf I, Albert I, Henry VII, and Louis IV—were too distracted elsewhere to intervene in Switzerland, although the Habsburgs refused to relinquish any of their feudal claims.

Instead, Rudolf resorted to something which could be considered imposture: He initatiated the creation of a Metropolitan Chapter at the Cathedral of Saint Stephan (which, according to the name, should be assinged to a bishop), whose members wore red garment as cardinals do.

 AH 330 (Hutchison): Painting in Austria and Franconia ca. 1400
After the death of the Emperor Charles IV, and the failed reign of his eldest son and successor, Wenzel, the Hussite Wars in Bohemia created a climate unfavorable to the arts, while the growing political ambitions of Charles's Hapsburg son-in-law Rudolf IV made Vienna a more and more attractive destination for artists and art works.
Rudolf had already founded a university there (1365), in imitation of the older one in Prague, and had commissioned a painted portrait of himself, crowned (Anonymous, 1365 or earlier, Vienna, Archiepiscopal Museum).
