AS SEEN ON TV: RUDOLPH I

THE KING OF GERMANY

AS SEEN IN:
"The Pied Piper"

AS PLAYED BY:
Jim Backus

Although not named in the production, the king had to be Rudolph I because the story took place in 1284......

From Wikipedia:
Rudolph I (also known as Rudolph of Habsburg) (German: Rudolf von Habsburg, Latin: Rudolphus) (1 May 1218(1218-05-01) – 15 July 1291(1291-07-15)) was King of the Romans from 1273 until his death. He played a vital role in raising the Habsburg dynasty to a leading position among the Imperial feudal dynasties. Originally a Swabian count, he was the first Habsburg to acquire the duchies of Austria and Styria, territories that would remain under Habsburg rule for more than 600 years and would form the core of the Habsburg Monarchy and the present-day country of Austria.
