) and Rudolf with Austria, Styria, and Carniola, which he had won from Ottocar; these lands became the core of the Hapsburg possessions. Rudolf thus laid the foundations for a strong kingship based on large dynastic holdings. In Germany, Rudolf attempted to recover the rights lost to the crown during the interregnum. He issued local land peaces to overcome internal anarchy and imposed taxes on the imperial towns in order to strengthen the central government, but these measures had little success. In his Italian policy Rudolf attempted to conciliate the new pope, Nicholas III (reigned 1277–80), in the hope of securing the pope's approval for his coronation as Holy Roman emperor; Rudolf renounced his sovereignty over the Papal States and sought to bring about the withdrawal of the house of Anjou from central Italy. With Nicholas's death, however, and the election of an anti-German pope, Rudolf's plans for imperial coronation fell through. He also failed to have his son Albert elected king, which would have insured Albert's succession as emperor. Instead, Adolf of Nassau succeeded Rudolf.

Rudolf I

 

Born May 1, 1218; died July 15, 1291, in Speyer. German king from 1273; first of the Hapsburgs.

Rudolf laid the foundations for the Hapsburg Empire by taking from the Bohemian king Otakar II in the years 1276–78 Austria, Styria, Carinthia, and Carniola and handing over Austria and Styria to his sons in 1282. Using the Hapsburg family holdings as a base, he sought, for example, by announcing Landfriede (resolutions forbidding private wars), to strengthen central authority in the German kingdom, which was greatly weakened during the Great Interregnum of 1254–73.
