Rudolf von Steinfurt

Rudolf von Steinfurt, a son of Lord Ludolf VII of Steinfurt, was a cleric in the diocese of Münster. While serving as a chapel rector, he and his brother Baldewin asked Bishop Ludwig II to exchange their prebends, a swap that admitted Rudolf to the Münster cathedral chapter.

In 1364 he is first recorded as Domscholaster, the cathedral school's master, and in 1369 he served the bishop as Amtmann, or bailiff, in the Emsland.
