Rudolph II, Count of Neuchâtel, also known as Rudolf of Fenis or Rudolf von Neuenburg (c. 1150 - 30 August 1196) was a Swiss minnesinger (minstrel) of the 12th century.

Life

Rudolph died young, before 30 August 1196.[1] He was succeeded as count by his only known son, Berthold of Neuchâtel,[2] who shared his name with various bishops of the same house who were likely brothers and cousins to Rudolph.

Works

In keeping with his French-speaking lands, Rudolph used the works of Folquet de Marselha and Peire Vidal as models for his own poetry. However, his poetry is exclusively in Middle High German.[3]
