Notes:

Rudolph II (c. 880-11 July 937), a member of the Elder House of Welf, was King of Burgundy from 912 until his death. He initially succeeded in Upper Burgundy and also ruled as King of Italy from 922 to 926. In 933 Rudolph acquired 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.

He 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. 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 the Great, crowned Holy Roman Emperor in 962, and the mother of Emperor Otto II.

Rudolph married von Schwaben, Bertha in 922 in Bourgogne, France.

• Appointments / Titles: Between 888 and 912; King of Haute-Bourgogne

Notes:

Rudolph I (859-October 25, 912) was King of Upper Burgundy from his election in 888 until his death.

Rudolph belonged to the elder Welf family and was the son of Conrad, Count of Auxerre and Waldrada of Worms. From his father he inherited the lay abbacy of St Maurice en Valais, making him the most powerful magnate in Upper Burgundy - present-day western Switzerland and the Franche-Comté.
After the deposition and death of Charles the Fat, the nobles and leading clergy of Upper Burgundy met at St Maurice and elected Rudolph as king. Apparently on the basis of this election, Rudolph claimed the whole of Lotharingia, taking much of modern Lorraine and Alsace - but his claim was contested by Arnulf of Carinthia, the new king of East Francia or Germany, who rapidly forced Rudolph to abandon Lotharingia in return for recognition as king of Burgundy. However, hostilities between Rudolph and Arnulf seem to have continued intermittently until 894.

Rudolph's relationships with his other neighbours were friendlier. His sister Adelaide married Richard the Justiciar, duke of Burgundy (the present day Burgundy, part of west Francia). His daughter another Adelaide married Louis the Blind of Provence (Lower Burgundy), and his daughter Willa married Boso of Tuscany.

Rudolph was succeeded as king of Burgundy by his son, Rudolph II. Rudolf I's widow, queen Guilla, married in 912 Hugh of Arles.

This Rudolph is frequently confused with his nephew Rudolph of France, who was the second duke of Burgundy and ninth king of France.

Rudolph married de Provence, Guilla in 888 in France. Guilla (daughter of de Provence, Boson and de Italy, Queen of Burgundy Ermengarde) was born in 873 in Vienne, Poitou-Charentes, France; died on 14 Feb 929 in Vienne, Poitou-Charentes, France. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

Willa of Provence was an early medieval Frankish queen in the Rhone valley. It is certain that she was the first consort of Rudolf I of Upper Burgundy; and later, from 912, consort of Hugh of Arles, border count of Provence, who in 926 became king of Northern Italy.

Willa van de Provence was een vroegmiddeleeuwse Frankische koningin in het Rhônedal. Het is zeker dat ze de eerste echtgenote was van Rudolf I van Opper-Bourgondië; en later, vanaf 912, gemalin van Hugo van Arles, grensgraaf van de Provence, die in 926 koning van Noord-Italië werd.

Everything else in her genealogy is more or less UNCERTAIN.

Conrad II, Duke of Transjurane Burgundy
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Conrad II the Younger was the Count of Auxerre from 864 until his death in 876. He was a son of Conrad I of Auxerre, and Adelaide of Tours; an older brother of Hugh the Abbot; and a member of the Bavarian branch of the Welfs.

In 858, at the coaxing of Charles the Bald, his cousin, he and his brother betrayed Louis the German when he sent them on an espionage mission and went over to Charles, who rewarded them handsomely because he had lost his Bavarian honores. He acted as Duke of Transjurane (Upper) Burgundy from then until about 864.

He married Waldrada of Worms, by whom he left a son, Rudolf,[1] who later became King of Transjurane Burgundy, and a daughter, Adelaide of Auxerre, who married Richard, Duke of Burgundy, and had issue. Some online family trees may have him also married to Judith of Friuli, but there is no source for this, and she is not known to have married to anyone.

Conrad married d'Orleans, Waldrada. Waldrada (daughter of d'Orléans, Adrien and d'Autun, Waldrade) was born in 801 in Orléans, Loiret, Centre, France; died in 880 in France; was buried in Apr 869 in Saint-Étienne Cathedral, Sens, Yonne, Bourgogne, France. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

In 808 she married Rutpert III, Count in Oberrheingau and in Wormsgau from the house of the Rupertines. She herself inherited rich property in Orléans, which served her son Robert the Brave in 840 after his move from the domain of Ludwig the German to that of Charles the Bald as the basis of his rise in the West Franconian Empire.

In May 878 , Pope John VIII, threatened by the Saracens and Italian nobles, took refuge in Arles with her and her husband, Duke Boson.

After the coup d'état of Boson in October 879 , she participated in the defense of Provence against the attempts of the Carolingian kings to reconquer . At the end of 880 , she successfully defended the city of Vienne , in the Rhône valley , capital of the kingdom of Burgondia that her husband Boson had tried to restore, and besieged by the troops of the alliance of the Carolingian kings Charles III the Fat , Louis III of France and Carloman II of France .

In August 881 , during the second siege of Vienna , the troops of Charles III the Fat , newly elected West Germanic Emperor , succeeded in taking the city which was pillaged and burned down. Richard the Justice , brother of Boson, then takes under his protection his sister-in-law and his niece and takes them to Autun , while her husband Boson takes refuge in Provence.
