Kingdom of Burgundy

The Kingdom of Burgundy was a medieval political entity that existed primarily during the early Middle Ages, roughly from the 5th to the 10th century. It was centered in regions that are now parts of France, Switzerland, and Germany. Initially, it was a kingdom of the West Germanic Burgundian people, but over time, its territory and political structure evolved through alliances, wars, and inheritance. The kingdom played a significant role in the power dynamics of medieval Europe, eventually integrating into larger entities like the Holy Roman Empire. Its history reflects the shifting borders and cultures of early European medieval states.
