Rudolph is "of Rheinfelden" -- never was "of Rheinfeld". The claim that in German he was "Rudolph von Rheinfeld" is wrong. The page should be renamed and redirected accordingly.Cosal16:11, 26 August 2006 (UTC)Reply
Not sure it matters, as is in embedded historical literature... Article has been moved by another as of June 2008.
Geneological references, including the Catholic Encyclopedia use Rudolph of Rheinfelden, (or Rudolf)
e.g.
“
In the year 1073 a revolt broke out against Henry IV by the Saxon nobles who had to bear the brunt of the statute labour in the building of the royal strongholds and castles against the King’s Frankish and Swabian officials. To overcome this startling revolt and save his fortresses the king needed the military strength of the South German Princes. Rudolph of Rheinfelden, Duke of Swabia, Welf IV being Duke Welf I of Bavaria and one, Berthold of Zähringen being Berthold I – Duke of Carinthia were called upon to assist. Their forces enabled King Henry to defeat the Saxon[4] rebellion in June 1075.
