Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles Rudolf or Rudolph was the Count of Geneva from 1252 until his death in 1265. He was the eldest son of William II, and was described by a Renaissance historian as "the more quarrelsome son of a quarrelsome father." He was a constant warrior, and his most frequent foes were of the House of Savoy. In September 1262 Rudolf paid homage to the youthful Boniface, Count of Savoy, for the territories he held in fief from him. Boniface was probably not yet fourteen and still under the regency of his mother, C cile des Baux. The homage of Rudolf is therefore one of the more important that comes down from the reign of Boniface, although it indicates that the latter was not yet styled with the full titulature of his father, Amadeus IV. Rudolf died in 1265 and was succeeded by his son Aymon II, who was later succeeded by his brother Amadeus II.
