History[]
Reformed within the Frankish Kingdom in 765 CE, the Kingdom of Burgundy, or Royaume de Bourgogne as many locals call it, is a political entity which has been independent and annexed multiple times, and which was reformed by Theuderic III of the House of Burgundy, who held his court at Dijon. Basing itself on Roman ideas and principles, while also having a large number of its own, the Kingdom of Burgundy is inhabited by a Germanic people, the Burgundians, whom migrated centuries ago from Scandinavia to Poland like many Germanic peoples, including the Franks.
