IV., in 1057, and two years later married the king's sister Matilda (1045-1o6o), and was made administrator of the kingdom of Burgundy , or Arles. Differences soon arose between the king and his brother-in-law, whose loyalty was suspected during the Saxon War of 1073. When Henry was excommunicated and deposed by pope Gregory VII., the princes met at Forchheirn, and elected Rudolph as German king. He renounced the right of investiture , disclaimed any intention of making the crown hereditary in his family, and was crowned at Mainz on the 27th of March 1077. He found no support in Swabia, but, uniting with the Saxons , won two victories over Henry's troops, and, in 1o8o, was recognized by the pope. On the 15th of October 1o8o, Rudolph was severely wounded at Hohenmolsen, and died the next day. He was buried at Merseburg, where his beautiful bronze tomb is still to be seen.
