Philip of Rouvres - possible error (in this article, or multiple others)
editAt the end of the "Dukes under the Capetians" section, the following is said of Philip of Rouvres:
Philip became ill with the plague, a disease that all but inevitably promised a swift and agonising death. Fully expecting to die, the young duke made his last will and testament on 11 November 1361; ten days later, he was dead, and with him, his dynasty.
However, both Philip of Rouvres' own article and that of his wife state that Philip died in a riding accident. This article states that Philip's father (also named Philip) died of a horse accident in 1346, and provides a detailed description of Philip of Rouvres' death by plague. So which is it? Either this article, or the other two, need to be corrected.
Hello all- A new user has been making seemingly unilateral page moves related to Burgundy. Please see here if interested: Talk:Burgundy#redirect_to_Duchy_of_Burgundy. Please feel free to move or copy any discussion to another page you deem more appropriate. Thanks in advance for any input.

Pfalzgrafen von Burgund
editThere should be at least some information in the text saying that the Bourgogne region had been part of the Holy Empire and had an own "Pfalzgraf", an adminstrative position directly under the German king. --88.67.87.240 (talk) 11:09, 23 December 2018 (UTC)
- I think what you are referring to is the County of Burgundy. Eric talk 15:01, 23 December 2018 (UTC)
Unclear distinction between territory and personal union
editThis articles is not clearly seperated from the monarchs and the lands that they ruled in personal union. For example the Netherlands were not part of the duchy but only in personal union with the duke.
I propose that the references of Netherland etc are taken out of the info box, since the article is not about what the House of Valois-Burgundy held in personal union, as shown in the map.
As previous topics here on the talk page discussed, the confusion with the County of Burgund could be prevented and clarified through this.
I have added the year 1384 in the info box and some little specifications to make the dutchy as a distinct entity more visible. Nsae Comp (talk) 22:36, 12 September 2019 (UTC)
Article contradicts itself?
editIn the lead section of the article, it states that the duchy emerged in the 9th century, but the infobox states that it was established in 918. Can someone explain this?Suasufzeb (talk) 23:20, 13 July 2022 (UTC)
