The Battle on the Elster is a military defeat for Henry, but Rudolf, with a lost right hand and a mortal wound in his belly, dies the next day at nearby Merseburg.
With Rudolf no longer a threat, the rebellion has lost its focus.
However, the struggle will continue on in effect into 1085, with a final flare up in 1088 under Rudolph's successor, the second antiking, Herman of Luxembourg.
