| Abstract | 'It would be hard to mention any geographical name which, by its application at different times to different districts, has caused, and continues to cause, more confusion than this name Burgundy' (James Bryce, 1871, Note A). Indeed, during the Middle Ages, there have been several configurations named Burgundy: quite a few kingdoms - e. g. the kingdom of the Burgundians, the legendary Nibelungs, the Frankish realm, the kingdom of Provence (= Lower Burgundy), the kingdom of Upper Burgundy, the kingdom of Arles -, but also the duchy of Burgundy and the county of Burgundy… Our two sessions aim to shed some light on some of these opaque configurations. |
