Their story
Rudolf I of Bohemia, born in Vienna in 1281, was a significant figure in the early history of the House of Habsburg. He held the esteemed titles of Prince-Elector, King of Bohemia, and King of Poland. His reign as King of Poland, though brief, marked a pivotal moment in the complex political landscape of Central Europe. Rudolf's life concluded in 1307 in Horažďovice, leaving a legacy intertwined with the expansion and consolidation of Habsburg power during a transformative era. His impact, though sometimes overshadowed by later monarchs, remains an important chapter in the history of these kingdoms.
