Rudolf von Zähringen
Rudolf von Zähringen (* approx. 1135 ; † August 5, 1191 in Herdern near Freiburg ) was Archbishop of Mainz and Bishop of Liège .
His parents were Duke Konrad I of Zähringen and Clementia of Luxemburg-Namur. Rudolf was appointed successor to Arnold von Selenhofen by the Mainz citizens in 1160 , but was not recognized by Emperor Friedrich I. The cause was considerable tension between the Staufers and the Zähringers . After Rudolf was excommunicated at the Council of Lodi , Christian I von Buch succeeded him in Mainz. In 1167 , Rudolf became Bishop of Liège and was supported by his brother, Duke Berthold IV of Zähringen . During his tenure, a skull relic of Lambert von Liège came to Freiburg, which is now part of the Freiburg Minster Treasury.
On May 11, 1188, Rudolf and his army set out in Regensburg for the Third Crusade under Friedrich Barbarossa . In October 1190 he reached the besieged city of Acre . In 1191 he died on the way back in Herdern and was buried in the monastery of St. Peter .
