Habsburský''; 1281 – 3/[[4 July]] [[1307]], [[Horažďovice]] in Bohemia) was King of [[Bohemia]] (1306–1307), [[Duchy of Austria|Duke of Austria]] (as '''Rudolph III'''), and titular King of [[Poland]] 1306–1307. He was the son of [[Albert I of Germany]] and [[Elisabeth of Tirol]]. On [[May 25]], [[1300]], he married Blanche, daughter of [[Philip III of France]] by his second wife [[Maria of Brabant]]. Their only daughter died young, and Blanche herself died in 1305. Rudolf was presented in 1306 as a rival claimant to the Bohemian throne against [[Henry of Carinthia]]. Albert had Rudolf married to [[Elisabeth Richeza of Poland]], widow of [[Wenceslas II]] of Bohemia (1278–1305) and in 1306 occupied Prague to place Rudolf on the Bohemian throne. As some nobles continued to hold out for Henry of Carinthia, Rudolf besieged the rebel fortress of Horažďovice, but fell ill of [[dysentery]] and died there in 1307, leaving no children. The nobles then restored Henry of Carinthia as king in return for a charter of privileges. {{start box}} {{succession box| title=[[List of rulers of Bohemia|King of Bohemia]]| before=[[Henry of Carinthia]]| after=[[Henry of Carinthia]]| years=1306–1307}} {{succession box| title=[[List of rulers of Austria|Duke of Austria]] and [[duke of Styria|Styria]]<br/>with [[Albert I of Germany|Albert I]]| before=[[Rudolph II of Austria|Rudolph II]]| after=&mdash;| years=1298–1307 }} {{end box}} [[Category:1281 births|Rudolph 1 of Bohemia]] [[Category:1307 deaths|Rudolph 1 of Bohemia]] [[Category:House of Habsburg|Rudolph 1 of Bohemia]] [[Category:Bohemian monarchs|Rudolph 1 of Bohemia]] [[Category:Dukes of Austria|Rudolph 1 of Bohemia]] [[Category:Dukes of Styria|Rudolph 1 of Bohemia]] [[Category:Deaths from dysentery|Rudolph 1 of Bohemia]] [[Category:Burials at Saint Vitus Cathedral]] [[cs:Rudolf Habsburský]] [[de:Rudolf I.
