Rudolf von Hoheneck
Rudolf von Hoheneck (also Rudolf von Hohenegg ; * in Isny ; † August 3, 1290 in Erfurt ) was Archbishop of Salzburg in the late 13th century.
Life
Rudolf came from the Swabian noble Hohenegg family and grew up in Isny . He was probably a Benedictine monk and first took over the church administration of the Benedictine abbey in Kempten . In 1274 he became King Rudolf's court chancellor , a title that Rudolf kept until 1288. From 1281 Rudolf was vicar general of the empire in Italy together with Bishop Johann von Gurk . After his election as Archbishop, Rudolf was only administrator from 1284 to 1285 until he was ordained bishop on March 11, 1285.
The main opponent of the archbishop was initially Duke Heinrich von Niederbayern, who surprisingly occupied the Salzburg city of Mühldorf in 1285 . After a military counterattack by the archbishop, the Duke of Upper Bavaria, Count Palatine Ludwig , brokered an armistice in November 1285 . An arbitration tribunal should clarify all open questions. The city of Mühldorf was returned to Salzburg.
Soon afterwards the archbishop settled a dispute between the “rich” and the “poor” citizens of the city of Salzburg, in truth foreign and local citizens, whereby a documented city law became known for the first time.
The conflict with Duke Albrecht in Styria was unfavorable for Salzburg. Duke Albrecht had lured Salzburg servants from the archbishopric, whereupon Rudolf invaded the Styrian Ennstal in the winter of 1289/90 and destroyed the Ennsburg. The Styrian Duke was militarily stronger and so Rudolf had to agree to a peace on January 11, 1290 through the mediation of Duchess Elisabeth in Vienna, in which Salzburg, among other things, had to renounce defected servants and the resolutions of the Salzburg Synod (in which Rudolf Duke Albrecht and whose countries had banned) had to be publicly revoked.
