Treaty of Rheinfelden

Encyclopedia : T : TR : TRE : Treaty of Rheinfelden

In the Treaty of Rheinfelden, concluded June 1, 1283, the then eleven-year-old Duke Rudolph II of Austria had to waive all his rights to the thrones of Austria and Styria to the benefit of his elder brother Albert I. The fact that Rudolph was never compensated induced his son John Parricida to murder Albert in 1308.
