Rudolph, Duke of Burgundy
Raoul or Ralph or Rudolph of Burgundy (died January 15 936) was duke of Burgundy between 921/923 and King of Western Francia from this date to his death.
Rudolph inherited the duchy of Burgundy from his father, Richard of Autun, but was elected king of France in 923, by an assembly of nobles, to substitute Robert I of France. Assuming the crown, he passed Burgundy to his younger brother, Hugh the Black, after only two years as duke. He married Emma of Paris, sister of Hugh Capet, count of Paris, but had no known descendants.
