He was one of the nobles opposed to his brother-in-law King Heinrich IV. He was elected anti-king of Germany at Forcheim in Feb 1077 by the German nobility who were affronted by Pope Gregory VI's withdrawal of the order of excommunication against King Heinrich[394]. The Pope remained neutral at the time but after repeating his excommunication order against King Heinrich in 1080, he declared support for Rudolf as anti-king[395]."

     "Mathilde de Franconie, née vers 1045 à Pöhlde en Saxe et morte le 12 mai 1060 à Goslar, est une aristocrate issue de la dynastie franconienne, la troisième fille de l'empereur Henri III du Saint-Empire de son deuxième mariage avec Agnès d'Aquitaine.
     "Elle est également la sœur de Henri IV du Saint-Empire, qui succéda son père à sa mort en 1056. Alors qu'elle a douze ans en 1057, Rodolphe de Rheinfelden l'enlève afin de se voir octroyer le duché de Souabe, vacant à la mort d'Otton III de Schweinfurt, ce qu'il obtient. En 1059, il épouse Mathilde mais elle meurt l'année suivante. Il est possible qu'elle soit la mère de Berthold de Rheinfelden.

; Per Wikipedia:
     "Matilda of Swabia (October 1048 – 12 May 1060), a member of the Salian dynasty, was the daughter of Emperor Henry III from his second marriage with Agnes of Poitou. By her marriage to Rudolf of Rheinfelden, she was Duchess of Swabia from 1059-1060, before her early death.
Life
     "Matilda was the third daughter of Emperor Henry III and Empress Agnes, a daughter of the French duke William V of Aquitaine. Among her older siblings were Adelaide, who became Abbess of Quedlinburg and Gandersheim, and Gisela, who died in infancy. Her younger siblings included her brothers Henry IV, who succeeded their father as Holy Roman Emperor in 1056, and Conrad II, who also died in infancy, and a sister, Judith of Swabia, who was queen consort of Hungary from 1063 to 1074. In addition, Matilda had an older half-sister, Beatrix, Abbess of Quedlinburg and Gandersheim, born from her father's first marriage with Princess Gunhilda of Denmark.
     "Matilda was probably born in October 1048 in Pöhlde,[1] although some sources indicate that she was born before this, perhaps as early as 1045.[2] When she was, at most, twelve years old, Matilda was betrothed to Rudolf of Rheinfelden in 1057. Their marriage took place in 1059.[3] It is possible that Matilda was the mother of Rudolf’s son, Berthold of Rheinfelden.[4] (The identity of Berthold’s mother is disputed, and she is sometimes said to be Rudolf’s second wife, Adelaide of Savoy.[5])
     "Matilda died on 12th May 1060, probably in Goslar, and was buried at the monastery of SS Simon and Jude in Goslar.[6]

; Per Genealogics:
     "Heinrich, the eldest son of Poppo I, Graf im Saalgau, one of the first Babenbergs, was the most important East Frankish general during the reign of Emperor Charles III 'the Fat'. He was variously titled count or margrave of Saxony and duke of Franconia.
     "Heinrich was the lord of the castle Babenberg on the River Main, around which the later city of Bamberg was built. He enjoyed the favour of Charles 'the Fat' and was his right-hand man in Germany during his reign. He led a surprise strike on a force of Vikings prior to the Siege of Asselt, but it was unsuccessful. When in 885 Charles summoned Hugues, duke of Alsace, the son of Lothar II, king of Lorraine, and his mistress Waldrada, and Hugues' brother-in-law Gottfried, count in Friesland, to a court at Lobith, it was Heinrich who arrested them and had Gottfried murdered and Hugues imprisoned on Charles' orders.
     "In 884, when Charles succeeded to the throne of West Francia, he sent Heinrich there to hold the march of Neustria against the Vikings. In 886 he was sent to aid the besieged of Paris. He did not stay long but returned later that year with Charles. However he died in a skirmish with the Vikings on 28 August 886, while en route to Paris.
     "The identity of Heinrich's wife is not known with certainty. Some sources identify her as Ingeltrud of Friaul, daughter of Eberhard I, margrave of Friaul and Gisla de France, daughter of Emperor Louis I 'the Pious'. A daughter of Berengar I of Neustria has been suggested as an alternative possible wife. Marriage with the latter would have been made possible and perhaps advisable by Heinrich's new position in Neustria and his dealings with the Vikings. Heinrich's one known daughter Haduwig or Hedwig would have progeny, marrying Otto 'der Erlauchte', Herzog von Sachsen."⁸

; Per Genealogics:
     “Eirik was born about 964, the bastard eldest son of Håkon Sigurdsson 'the Mighty', jarl in Norway. He participated in the Battle of Hjörungavågr, the Battle of Svolder and the conquest of England.
     “The principal sources on Eirik's youth are the _Fagrskinna_ and _Heimskringla._ They relate that Eirik was the son of Håkon Sigurdsson and a woman of low birth whom Håkon bedded during a sojourn in Uppland. Håkon cared little for the boy and gave him to a friend to raise. On one occasion when Eirik was eleven or twelve years old he and his foster father had harboured their ship next to jarl Håkon. Then Håkon's closest friend Skopti arrived and asked Eirik to move away so that he could harbour next to Håkon as he was used to doing. When Eirik refused, Håkon was infuriated by the boy's pride and sternly ordered him away. Humiliated, Eirik had no choice but to obey. In the following winter he avenged the humiliation by chasing down Skopti's ship and killing him. This was Eirik's first exploit.
     “The sagas say that after killing Skopti, Eirik sailed south to Denmark, where he was received by Harald I Gormsen Blatand. After a winter's stay in Denmark, Harald granted Eirik the jarldom over Romerike and Vingulmark - areas in the south of Norway long under Danish influence.
     “The Battle of Hjörungavår was Eirik's first major confrontation. The semi-legendary naval battle took place in the late 10th century between the earls of Lade and a Danish invasion fleet. It is described in the Norse kings' sagas - such as the _Heimskringla_ - as well as in the _Jómsvikinga_ saga and Saxo Grammaticus' _Gesta Danorum._ Those late literary accounts are fanciful, but historians believe that they contain a kernel of truth. Some contemporary skaldic poetry alludes to the battle.
     “Håkon Sigurdsson was a strong believer in the Old Norse Gods, and when Harald Blatand attempted to force Christianity upon him, Håkon broke his allegiance to Denmark. A Danish force was defeated at the battle of Hjörungavår in 986. According to the _Heimskringla,_ Eirik, apparently reconciled with his father, commanded 60 ships in the battle and emerged victorious. After the battle he gave quarter to many of the Jomsvikings.
     “In 995, as Olav Trygveson seized power in Norway, Eirik was forced into exile in Sweden. He allied himself with Olof III 'Skötkonung', king of Sweden and Svend II 'Forkbeard', king in Denmark, whose daughter Gyda Svendsdatter of Denmark he married. Using Sweden as his base he launched a series of raiding expeditions into the east. Harrying the lands of Vladimir 'the Great', grand duke of Kiev and Novgorod, Eirik looted and burned down the town of Staraya Ladoga. There are no written continental sources to confirm or refute this, but in the 1980s Soviet archaeologists unearthed evidence which showed a burning of Ladoga in the late 10th century.
     “Eirik also plundered in western Estonia and the island of Saaremaa. According to the _Fagrskinna_ summary of the _Bandadrápa_ he fought Vikings in the Baltic and raided Östergötland during the same time.
     “In the Battle of Svolder in 1000, Eirik, Svend and Olof ambushed King Olav Trygveson by the island of Svolder. The place cannot now be identified, as the formation of the Baltic coast has been much modified in the course of subsequent centuries. Svolder was an island probably on the North German coast, near Rügen.
     “During the summer Olav had been in the eastern Baltic. The allies lay in wait for him at the island of Svolder on his way home. The Norwegian king had with him seventy-one vessels, but part of them belonged to an associate, Jarl Sigvaldi, a chief of the Jomsvikings, who was an agent of his enemies, and who deserted him. Olav's own ships went past the anchorage of Eirik and his allies in a long column without order, as no attack was expected. The king was in the rear of the whole of his best vessels. The allies allowed the bulk of the Norwegian ships to pass, and then stood out to attack Olav.
     “Olav refused to flee, and turned to give battle with the eleven ships immediately about him. The disposition adopted was one which is found recurring in many sea-fights of the Middle Ages where a fleet had to fight on the defensive. Olav lashed his ships side to side, his own, the Long Serpent, the finest war-vessel as yet built in the north, in the middle of the line, where her bows projected beyond the others. The advantage of this arrangement was that it left all hands free to fight, a barrier could be formed with the oars and yards, and the enemy's chance of making use of his superior numbers to attack on both sides would be, as far as possible, limited - a strong point when all fighting was with the sword, or with such feeble missile weapons as bows and javelins. Olav in effect turned his eleven ships into a floating fort.
     “The Norse writers, who are the main authorities, gave all the credit to the Norwegians, and according to them all the intelligence of Olav's enemies, and most of their valour, were to be found in Eirik. They say that the Danes and Swedes rushed at the front of Olav's line without success. Eirik attacked the flank. His vessel, the Iron Ram, was 'bearded', that is to say, strengthened across the bows by bands of iron, and he forced her between the last and last but one of Olav's line. In this way the Norwegian ships were carried one by one, until the Long Serpent alone was left. At last she too was overpowered. Olav leapt into the sea holding his shield edgeways, so that he sank at once and the weight of his hauberk dragged him down.
     “After the battle of Svolder, Eirik became, together with his brother Sveinn Håkonsson, governor of Norway under King Svend II Forkbeard from 1000 to 1012. Eirik's son Håkon Eiriksson continued in this position to 1015. Eirik and Sveinn consolidated their rule by marrying their sister Bergljot to Einarr Pambarskelfir, gaining a valuable advisor and ally.
     “The _Fagrskinna_ relates that 'there was good peace at this time and very prosperous seasons. The jarls maintained the laws well and were stern in punishing offences.'
     “During his rule of Norway, Eirik's only serious rival was Erlinger Skjalgsson. Too powerful and cautious to touch but not powerful enough to seek open confrontation, he maintained an uneasy peace and alliance with the jarls throughout their rule.
     “According to the _Grettis_ saga, Eirik forbade duelling by law and exiled berserks shortly before his expedition to England. According to Theodoricus monachus, Eirik pledged to adopt Christianity if he emerged victorious from the battle of Svolder. Oddr Snorrason's Olav's saga _Tryggvasonar_ has a more elaborate version of the story where Eirik replaces an image of Thor on the prow of his ship with a Christian cross. There is no skaldic poetry to substantiate this, but most of the sagas agree that Eirik and Sveinn adopted Christianity, at least formally. Adopting Christianity was no doubt a politically advantageous move for the jarls since they were allied with the Christian rulers of Sweden and Denmark. Instituting freedom of religion was also a shrewd political move after Olav Trygveson's violent missionary activity. However Eirik's religious conviction as a Christian was probably not strong.
     “In 1014 or 1015 Eirik left Norway and joined Knud den Store for his campaign in England. At that time Knud was young and inexperienced but Eirik was 'an experienced warrior of tested intelligence and fortune' (the _Fagrskinna_) and, in the opinion of Frank Stenton, 'the best adviser that could have been found for a young prince setting out on a career of conquest'.
     “The Scandinavian invasion fleet landed at Sandwich in midsummer 1015 where it met little resistance. Knud's forces moved into Wessex and plundered in Dorset, Wiltshire and Somerset. Eadric Streona, ealdorman of Mercia, assembled an English force of 40 ships and submitted to Knud. The _Encomium Emmae_ is the only English source which gives any information on Eirik's actions at this time, but its accounts of his supposed independent raids is vague and does not fit well with other sources.
     “In early 1016 the Scandinavian army moved over the Thames into Mercia, plundering as it went. Prince Edmund attempted to muster an army to resist the invasion, but his efforts were not successful and Knud's forces continued unhindered into Northumbria where Uchtred 'the Bold', earl of Northumberland, was murdered. The great north English earldom was given by Knud to Eirik after he had won control of the north. After conquering Northumbria the invading army turned south again towards London. Before it arrived King Aethelred 'the Unready' died (on 23 April 1016) and Prince Edmund was chosen king.
     “Following Aethelred's death the Scandinavian forces besieged London. According to the _Encomium Emmae_ the siege was overseen by Eirik and this may well be accurate. The Legendary Saga of St. Olaf indicates that Eirik was present at the siege of London.
     “After several battles, Knud and Edmund reached an agreement to divide the kingdom, but Edmund died a few months later, and in 1017 Knud was undisputed king of all England. He divided the kingdom into four parts: Wessex he kept for himself, East-Anglia he gave to Thorkell, Northumbria to Eirik and Mercia to Eadric. Later the same year Knud had Eadric executed as a traitor. According to the _Encomium Emmae_ he ordered Eirik to 'pay this man what we owe him', and Eirik chopped off his head with his axe.
     “Eirik remained as earl of Northumberland until his death. His earlship is primarily notable in that it is never recorded that he ever fought with the Scots or the Britons of Strathclyde, who were usually threatening Northumberland. Eirik is not mentioned in English documents after 1023. According to English sources he was exiled by Knud and returned to Norway. This is very unlikely as there are no Norse records of his supposed return. Eirik's successor as earl, Siward, cannot be confirmed as being earl of Northumberland until 1033, so Eirik's death cannot strictly be placed more precisely than between 1023 and 1033. According to the Norse sources he died of a haemorrhage after having his uvula cut (a procedure in medieval medicine) either just before or just after a pilgrimage to Rome.”.²
