To the apostate Luttenheim...

Lord God...

Did not quite trust the citizens.
quasi illiteratus original: "as if illiterate", could therefore not speak Latin.
He was otherwise, two years before his predecessor's death, Provost and Coadjutor, as whom he also had a document regarding the privileges of the city and the Bishopric of Basel given to him by King Richard of Cornwall in 1262 at Schloßstadt. He ruled from then on without an actual new election, because the Cathedral Chapter did not dare to say anything against it.

He was the first who gave the citizens a charter original: "Handfeste", by means of which he obligated himself to give the city a council and a mayor. There were 2 canons, 2 servants of the church, or knights, and 4 city judges original: "Achtburger" of the new authority. Just at the time of Rudolf's main appointment was the citizens' annual oath to obey the Bishop and the council.
