Duke of Burgundy
*** Shopping-Tip: Duke of Burgundy
The '''Duchy of Burgundy''', today Bourgogne, has its origin in the small portion of traditional lands of Burgundians west of river Saône which in 843 was allotted to Charles the Bald's West Franks kingdom of West Franks. As it was their kingdom of Burgundy to France, the name Burgundy established within centuries to this border region, as the most proper lands of Burgundians lost central power and disintegrated into principalities known with other names. The Western kings appointed governors to this province with the title Duke, and sooner or later the ducal position established as hereditary.
