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