Rudolf III. von Sulz (* before 1390 ; † 1431 probably at Balm Castle ) was Landgrave of the Landgraviate of Klettgau and Lord zu Rotenberg from the family of the Counts of Sulz .
Life
Rudolf was a son of Hermann von Sulz and on July 6, 1408 married the heir to Count Johann von Habsburg , Ursula von Habsburg-Laufenburg (* around 1390; † 1460 in Waldshut) according to a contract . They left the following children:
- Johann II (* around 1412/14 † December 16, 1484), hereditary court judge at the Rottweil court from 1434 to 1484; ∞ Bertha von Höwen († April 20, 1514 in Strasbourg)
- Rudolf IV. (* Around 1418 † 1487) ∞ Margaretha von Limpurg-Gaildorf , daughter of Conrad IV. Von Limpurg-Gaildorf (* 1395) and ∞ (September 20, 1439) Clara von Montfort
- Agnes von Sulz (* 1409; † February 6, 1484 in the Säckingen Abbey )
- Margarethe von Sulz ∞ Jörg von Rhäzüns
-
Alwig X. von Sulz , (also Alwig the VIII.), († 1493) ∞ Verena von Brandis (1452–1507), daughter of Baron Ulrich II. Von Brandis and Praxedis von Helfenstein , her sons were:
- Rudolf V. von Sulz
- Junker Wolf Hermann von Sulz (urk. 1491–1528), commandant of the Küssaburg
Seat at the Balm Castle
Rudolf III. von Sulz lived at Balm Castle with his wife Ursula and three sons (Johann, Rudolf and Alwig) until his early death. Countess Ursula and her underage sons Ludwig and Alwig lived there until the castle was destroyed and captured by the Schaffhausen family in 1449. (Johann took over the office of court judge in Rottweil). Schaffhausen later paid ten thousand guilders as compensation under imperial pressure, but insisted that Balm Castle should never be built again. Countess Ursula therefore lived in Waldshut until her death (1460).
