WHAT DOES KINGDOM OF BURGUNDY MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Kingdom of Burgundy

Burgundy is a historic region in Western Europe, now Southern France, named after its founders, the Burgundians. The Burgundians originated from mainland Scandinavia, and then settled on the island of Bornholm, whose name in Old Norse was Burgundarholmr, and from there moved again to mainland Europe. Burgundy itself has existed as a political entity in a number of forms with different boundaries. Two of these entities - the first around the 6th century, the second around the 11th century - have been called the Kingdom of Burgundy; a third was very nearly created—as was more than one noble state of Burgundy—including a County and duchy, almost all of them being influential and fairly wealthy. In the last stages of the later house of Burgundy, Burgundy had become one of the most influential and powerful states in Europe and a great prize as a duchy, with possessions obtained by marriage and inheritance extending from and encompassing the Netherlands, and extensive lands from Lorraine and encompassing the entire surrounds of the valley of the river Rhône, nearly to the Rhine abutting western Switzerland extending down the Rhône Valley to the Mediterranean coast.
