There are four 10th century kings known as Rudolph of Burgundy.
The other three Rudolphs, of whom the first was the above Rudolph's maternal uncle, were all known as King of Burgundy. Their kingdom included only Upper or Transjurane Burgundy (roughly, today's Franche-Comté and western Switzerland) until 933, when they acquired Provence. This enlarged kingdom was later to be known as the Kingdom of Arles.
Rudolph I, King of Burgundy was elected in 888 after the death of Charles the Fat. He died in 912.
Rudolph II, King of Burgundy was the son of Rudolph I, and ruled (Upper) Burgundy from 912 to 937. He was also elected as King of Italy in 922, although he never managed to establish his claim in practice, and became King of Provence (sometimes referred to as Lower or Cisjurane Burgundy) in 933 in return for withdrawing his claim to Italy in favour of Hugh of Arles.
Rudolph III, King of Burgundy, the grandson of Rudolph II, ruled from 993 until his death in 1032.
