Rudolf II (d. July 11, 937), king of Burgundy (912-937) who ruled Italyfor nearly four years (923-926) during the chaotic period at the end ofthe Carolingian era. The son of Rudolf I, founder of the kingdom ofJurane (Upper) Burgundy(i.e., the part of Burgundy north of Provence),and a descendant of the Welf (Guelf) family, Rudolf II was offered thethrone of Italy by Italian nobles disaffected with their king, Berengarof Friuli. Crowned at Paviain 922, Rudolf fought and defeated Berengarthe next year near Piacenza. After Berengar's murder (924), Rudolf ruledboth Jurane Burgundy and Italy, residing alternately in the two kingdoms.In 926 Italian nobles, dissatisfied with his reign, made overtures toHugh of Provence, the actual master of Provence, which was only nominallyheld by the emperor Louis III (the Blind). Rudolf, recognizing theweakness of his position, returned to Burgundy, and Hugh became king ofItaly. When Italian leaders proposed to recall Rudolf to the throne, Hughconcluded a treaty (c. 931) ceding Provence to Rudolf in return forRudolf's renunciation of all claims to the kingdom of Italy. All Burgundywas thus united under his rule. [Encyclopaedia Britannica CD '97]
