  Rudolph (c. 890-13 July 937) was the son of the Upper Burgundian king Rudolph I and it is presumed that his mother was his father's known wife Guilla, probably a daughter of King Boso of Provence.
  
  Rudolph II, a member of the Elder House of Welf, was King of Burgundy from 912 until his death in 937.
  He initially succeeded in Upper Burgundy and also ruled as King of Italy from 922 to 926.
  Rudolph acquired in 933 the Kingdom of Lower Burgundy (Provence) from King Hugh of Italy in exchange for the waiver of his claims to the Italian crown, thereby establishing the united Burgundian Kingdom of Arles.
  
  Following his ascent to the throne in 912, Rudolph II entered into a border conflict with the neighbouring Dukes of Swabia and campaigned the Thurgau and Zurich estates. Duke Burchard II of Swabia finally defeated him in the 919 Battle of Winterthur; both rulers made peace and Rudolph married Burchard's daughter Bertha in 922.
  
  At the same time, Rudolph was asked by several Italian nobles led by Margrave Adalbert I of Ivrea to intervene in Italy on their behalf against Emperor Berengar. Having entered Italy, he was crowned King of the Lombards at Pavia. In 923, he defeated Berengar at Piacenza; Berengar was murdered the following year, possibly at the instigation of Rudolph.
  
  The king then ruled Upper Burgundy and Italy together, residing alternately in both kingdoms. However, in 926 the Italian nobility turned against him and requested that Hugh of Arles, the effective ruler of Provence (or Lower Burgundy), rule them instead. Rudolph's father-in-law Duke Burchard II of Swabia came for his support; however, he was attacked and killed near Novara by the henchmen of Archbishop Lambert of Milan. The king returned to Upper Burgundy to protect himself, assuring Hugh's coronation as King of Italy in the process. At the Diet of Worms, Rudolph rendered the royal symbol of the Holy Lance to the East Frankish king Henry the Fowler in exchange for the Swabian Basel estates.
  
  The two Burgundian kingdoms unified from 933; Rudolph ruled until his death in 937 and was succeeded by his son Conrad. After his death in 937, his daughter Adelaide was married to Hugh's son Lothair, while Hugh married Rudolph's widow Bertha. Adelaide later became the second wife of Otto I the Great, crowned Holy Roman Emperor in 962, and the mother of Emperor Otto II.
  
  Rudolph II is frequently confused with his nephew Rudolph of France, who was the second duke of Burgundy and ninth king of France.
  
  Rudolph II (ca. 925-13 juli 937) was de zoon van de Boven-Bourgondische koning Rudolph I en er wordt aangenomen dat zijn moeder de bekende vrouw Guilla van zijn vader was, waarschijnlijk een dochter van koning Boso van de Provence.
  
  Rudolph II, een lid van het Oudere Huis van Welf, was koning van Bourgondië van 912 tot aan zijn dood in 937.
  Hij regeerde aanvankelijk in Opper-Bourgondië en regeerde ook als koning van Italië van 922 tot 926.
  Rudolph verwierf in 933 het Koninkrijk Neder-Bourgondië (Provence) van koning Hugo van Italië in ruil voor de afstand van zijn aanspraken op de Italiaanse kroon, waardoor het Verenigd Koninkrijk Bourgondië van Arles werd opgericht.
  
  Na zijn beklimming van de troon in 912, ging Rudolph II een grensconflict aan met de naburige hertogen van Schwaben en voerde campagne op de landgoederen Thurgau en Zürich. Hertog Burchard II van Schwaben versloeg hem uiteindelijk in de Slag bij Winterthur in 919; beide heersers sloten vrede en Rudolph trouwde in 922 met Burchard's dochter Bertha.
  
  Tegelijkertijd werd Rudolph door verschillende Italiaanse edelen onder leiding van markgraaf Adalbert I van Ivrea gevraagd om namens hen in Italië in te grijpen tegen keizer Berengar. Nadat hij Italië was binnengekomen, werd hij in Pavia tot koning van de Longobarden gekroond. In 923 versloeg hij Berengar bij Piacenza; Berengar werd het volgende jaar vermoord, mogelijk op instigatie van Rudolph.
  
  De koning regeerde toen samen Boven-Bourgondië en Italië, afwisselend woonachtig in beide koninkrijken. In 926 keerde de Italiaanse adel zich echter tegen hem en verzocht Hugo van Arles, de effectieve heerser van de Provence (of Neder-Bourgondië), in plaats daarvan over hen te regeren. Rudolph's schoonvader hertog Burchard II van Schwaben kwam voor zijn steun, maar hij werd aangevallen en gedood in de buurt van Novara door de handlangers van aartsbisschop Lambert van Milaan. De koning keerde terug naar Opper-Bourgondië om zichzelf te beschermen en verzekerde daarbij de kroning van Hugo tot koning van Italië. Op de Rijksdag van Worms schonk Rudolph het koninklijke symbool van de Heilige Lans aan de Oost-Frankische koning Hendrik de Vogelaar in ruil voor de Zwabische Bazelse landgoederen.
  
  De twee Bourgondische koninkrijken verenigden zich vanaf 933; Rudolph regeerde tot zijn dood in 937 en werd opgevolgd door zijn zoon Conrad. Na zijn dood in 937, zijn dochter Adelaide was getrouwd met Hugo's zoon Lothar, terwijl Hugo trouwde met Rudolph's weduwe Bertha. Adelaide werd later de tweede vrouw van Otto I de Grote, gekroond tot keizer van het Heilige Roomse Rijk in 962, en de moeder van keizer Otto II.
  
  Rudolph II wordt vaak verward met zijn neef Rudolph van Frankrijk, die de tweede hertog van Bourgondië en de negende koning van Frankrijk was.

   Note: CONRAD, son of RUDOLF II King of Upper Burgundy & his wife Berta of Swabia ([922/25]-Vienne 19 Oct 993, bur Vienne, cathédrale Saint-Maurice). He is named "Chuonradus rex filio Rodulfi" in his charter dated 23 Apr 943[156]. He succeeded his father in 937 as CONRAD I "le Pacifique" King of Burgundy. “Chunradus...rex” confirmed that “Hugo comes consanguineus noster” donated “Tusciaco villa, in pago Lugdunense" to Cluny by charter dated 23 Apr 943 (“anno sexto regnante domno Chuonrado rege filio Rodulfi”)[157]. The Aymari Rivalli De Allobrogibus records the death "XIV Kal Nov" of "regis Conradi" and his burial at Vienne[158]. m firstly ([950/55?]) ADELA, daughter of --- ([935/40?]-[23 Mar 963/[964]). "Chuonradus rex" donated “Crottas” to Cluny, for the souls of “nostræ...Adelane...reginæ et infantum nostrorum”, dated 23 Mar 963[159]. The wording of this charter suggests that Adela was alive at that date, but she must have died soon afterwards considering the likely date of her husband’s second marriage. Her absence from her husband’s charter dated 8 Apr 962[160] suggests her marriage after that date, but that is impossible considering that likely birth date of her daughter Gisela. Adela’s birth date range is estimated based on Gisela’s estimated birth date range. Her origin is not known. Carutti names her “figlia di uno dei grandi del regno” (no source cited)[161]. Jackman suggests that she was the sister of "Konrad Duke of Alsace"[162]. m secondly ([964]) MATHILDE de France, daughter of LOUIS IV "d'Outremer" King of the Franks & his wife Gerberga of Germany (end-943-26/27 Jan [981/992], bur Vienne, cathédrale Saint-Maurice). The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines records the marriage of "rex Francorum Lotharius…sororem suam Mathildem" and "Conradus rex Burgundie"[163]. "Mathilde et Alberada" are named as daughters of "Gerberga" in the Continuator of Flodoard, which specifies that Mathilde was mother of "Rodulfus rex et Mathildis soror eius"[164]. Her brother, Lothaire King of the West Franks, arranged this marriage to strengthen his position in south-eastern France. Her dowry consisted of the counties of Lyon and Vienne[165]. The Aymari Rivalli De Allobrogibus records the death "VI Kal Dec" of "Mathildis uxor regis Conradi" and her burial at Vienne[166]. Mistress (1): ([965/70]) ALDIUD, wife of ANSELM, daughter of ---. The identity of King Conrad´s mistress is ascertained as follows. Firstly, as noted below, the Chronicon Hugonis names the king´s illegitimate son, archbishop of Lyon, as "Burchardus, Rodulfi regis frater, Conradi ex concubina filius"[167]. Secondly, Burchard´s mother´s name is confirmed as Aldiud by a charter dated 14 Feb 1005, which records that her son "Burchardum Lugdunensem archiepiscopum" donated property "in loco Oponlongis infra comitatum Ottingen" which he had "ex patre matris suæ Aldiud quod rex Chuonradus ei præbuit" to Anselm Bishop of Aosta[168]. Thirdly, the name of the father of Anselm Bishop of Aosta is confirmed as Anselm in the charter of Rudolf III King of Burgundy for Romainmotier dated [1001/02], which was witnessed by "…Anselmus episcopus Augustensis…Anselmus pater Anselmi episcopi…"[169]. Fourthly, a charter dated 1 Nov 1002, noted by Rivaz in his compiled index of Burgundian charters, confirms that Anselm Bishop of Aosta and Burchard Archbishop of Lyon were brothers: "Burchard archévêque de Lyon et abbé de Saint-Maurice" granted property "dans les comtés de Valais et de Vaud" to "Gauslin", with the consent of "Anselme son frère évêque d'Aoste et prévôt de ladite abbaye"[170]. Fifthly, Anselm and Aldiud were also parents of Burchard Archbishop of Vienne and Udalrich his advocatus, as shown by a charter dated 19 Aug [1019] of "Burchardus sancta Viennensis archiepiscopus et Udolricus frater meus et advocatus meus" which granted property "in pago Genevensi…in villa Marischa…a circio Lemani lacus" made "pro remedio animarum…genitore nostro Anselmo sive pro genetrice nostra Aaldui"[171]. The conclusion therefore is that the only way in which Burchard Archbishop of Lyon could have been the brother of the three brothers Anselm, Burchard and Odalric is if they shared the same mother, who gave birth to them by different fathers. Aldiud´s relationship with the early counts of Savoy is indicated by Rodolfus Glauber who describes Burchard, son of Count Humbert "aux Blanches Mains", as nepos of Aldiud's illegitimate son[172]. This relationship is explained by Count Humbert's wife being the legitimate daughter of Anselm and Aldiud. The Chronicon Hugonis specifies that Burchard was appointed archbishop (dated to 978) when still a child[173]. This presumably dates Aldiud´s relationship to the King Conrad to [965/70], which was probably before she married Anselm. King Conrad I & his first wife, Adela, had two [or more] children: 1. GISELA ([955/60]-21 Jul 1007). 2. CONRAD [Cuono/Cuno] (-after 10 Aug 966, maybe after 17 Apr 967). 3. [one or more other children . His/her/their existence is confirmed by the charter dated 23 Mar 963 under which [their father] "Chuonradus rex" donated “Crottas” to Cluny, for the souls of “nostræ...Adelane...reginæ et infantum nostrorum”[190]. It is not known whether there were more children than Gisela and Conrad/Cuono.] King Conrad I & his second wife had four children: 4. MATHILDE . 5. BERTHE de Bourgogne ([964/965]-16 Jan after 1010) 6. GERBERGA (-7 Jul 1018) 7. RUDOLF (-5/6 Sep 1032, bur Lausanne Cathedral). King Conrad I had one illegitimate son by Mistress (1): 8. BURCHARD ([965/70]-22 Jun 1030 or 1031).
