Apr 27, 2022 · Rudolf IV, Duke of Austria From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Rudolf IV der Stifter (the Founder) (November 1, 1339 – July 27, 1365) was a member of the House of Habsburg and Duke (self-proclaimed Archduke) of Austria from 1358 to 1365.
In 1349 Duke Albrecht II summoned the lords of his dukedoms to Vienna to take an oath of allegiance to his ten-year-old son Rudolf. Only four years later Rudolf was given official duties and spent a number of years administering the Habsburgs’ western possessions before finally coming to Vienna in 1358 to enter into his father’s inheritance.
The marriage took place in Prague in 1353. Rudolf thus became the son-in-law of King Charles IV. In 1355 Rudolf’s father Albrecht II declared a rule of inheritance (the Albertine House Rule) that was intended to prevent the looming division of the Habsburg power base and the weakening of the position of the dynasty as a whole.
