BURGUNDIANS

The Burgundians (Burgundii) were a Teutonic race of people occupying the country between the Oder and the Vistula. They migrated first to the region of the Upper Rhine, and in the beginning of the fifth century passed into Gaul and obtained possession of the south-eastern part of the country, where they formed a kingdom having its seat of government sometimes at Lyons and sometimes at Geneva. They were finally wholly subdued by the Franks, but not before they had given their name to a region of Western Europe, Burgundy.
