After the death of his father between 1419 and 1420 (the exact date was still debatable), Rupert inherited the Duchies of Lubin and Chojnów. His younger brothers Wenceslaus III and Louis III inherited the Duchies of Oława (Ohlau) and Niemcza jointly as co-rulers.

In 1422 he was named Knight of the Order of Malta in Poland, Bohemia and Moravia.^[1]^{[better source needed ]}
