Untitled
- The last two paragraphs under "'Valois Burgundy'" refer to "the territory" without defining the exact terrritories that were lost to/reclaimed by the French crown. Much of the culture and imagery that the average person associates with Burgundy under the last two Valois Dukes was not produced in the ancestral duchy that was absorbed back into the French crown.
- I feel this detail should be clarified, but am not sure yet of the protocols for larger revisions like this since I'm new to Wikipedia. Would anyone else be willing to jump in? Thanks. Krumhorns 05:57, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
Merger of the Dukes of Burgundy with the Duchy of Burgundy
In most other articles the list of monarchs for a fief is listed with the fief itself. Why not merge these two articles into one? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 219.73.54.27 (talk) 13:51, 15 December 2008 (UTC)

Formatting
The format of the page is screwed up. If someone familar with how to fix it could do that it would be great. Thanks! 68.190.117.18 (talk) 02:34, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
Burgundians
The article states: The kingdom had evolved from the territory ruled over by the Burgundians, a Scandic people who settled in Gaul in the late 4th century. This is not right. The Burdundians, an East Germanic tribe settled east of the Rhine before 407, somewhere around the river Main. In 436 their Kingdom at the upper Rhine was defeated by hunnic auxiliary troops (written down in the Nibelungenlied) and the Burgundians were resettled in 443. The Burgundians didn't arrive in the region around Dijon before that year. Radical (talk) 23:55, 10 November 2010 (UTC)
King Juan Carlos I of Spain's Coat of Arms (officially from 1977; in fact from 1971)
Despite the official white lie, king Juan Carlos's arms were granted in April 1971 by the Francoist dictatorship. Juan Carlos was Prince of Spain in 1971, a trumped-up Francoist ad hoc title. Either the cross of Burgundy and the Catholic King's yoke and arrows are on his coat of arms as badges of the National Movement, the Francoist amalgamation of Carlism and Falangism. The cross of Burgundy was marked down as the Carlist badge in c.1935. After perhaps emperor Charles V of Germany, no Spanish monarch bore the cross of Burgundy on his official coat of arms.
Citations
Although the article is mostly unbiased and generally factual, we really need to get citations for this article. For a subject of such importance, it is practically void of any source material. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.254.197.41 (talk) 02:39, 31 August 2012 (UTC)
