Rudolf III. , the silent one († July 6, 1249 ) was the second son of Rudolf II of Habsburg and, as Rudolf I, was the progenitor of the Laufenburg line of the Habsburgs .

After the seat of government, this line was called the Laufenburgische.
He followed Frederick II in Italy between 1237 and 1245 under the exile, but turned away from the Council of Lyons .
