Talk:List of kings of Burgundy

Untitled

This is no longer a simple list, but includes much textual material - which is needed. Actually, even more textual explanations of the history of the kingdom is needed and such an article is therefore desirable. 217.140.193.123 2 July 2005 12:16 (UTC)

Origin stories need special care

Most recent archaeological and historical studies of the Germanic peoples question the historical accuracy of traditional accounts of origins and migrations. Can anyone find a reliable recent source supporting the story of origins in Bornholm and subsequent migrations? --SteveMcCluskey 22:18, 18 February 2007 (UTC)

Looked around a little, did not find it. Can't rule out that one exists, but yes, you are right. Most sources say "believed to have come from". Will look a bit more Elinruby (talk) 01:30, 4 June 2018 (UTC)

post-1254

Why do we stop the list in 1254? That seems very arbitrary. The natural date to stop, I should think, would be 1378. john k (talk) 20:54, 12 July 2010 (UTC)

Questions

"Flavius Aëtius moves the Burgundians into Sapaudia (Upper Rhône Basin)." -- since he was a Roman general presumably this was a military pushback? This wording makes it sound like he was their leader and saw greener pastures.

Also, just prior to that, do we have three sons sharing the throne? Elinruby (talk) 01:34, 4 June 2018 (UTC)

Separate administration under the Franks?

There is a line in the article that Burgundy would have a separate administration under the Franks. Can someone explain what this means? As far as I am aware of, there wasn't anything like a modern administration in the Early Middle Ages, there were just royal courts and local rulers. So is there any kind of local rulership here? By whom? Marcocapelle (talk) 12:52, 26 April 2020 (UTC)
