Notes:

In consequence of wars against the Alamanni, in which the latter had theadvantage, the Burgundians, after having taken part in the great invasionni Radagaisus in 407, were obliged in 411 to take refuge in Gaul, underthe leadership of their chief Gundicar. Under the title of allies of theRomans, they established themselves in certain cantons of the Sequani andof upper Germany, receiving a part of the lands, houses and serfs thatbelonged to the inhabitants. Thus was founded the first kingdom of?Burgundy, the boundaries of which were widened at different times byGundicar and his son.

Notes:

The Burgundians were a relatively minor tribe, but they have had asignificant impact on Europe. They have formed the name or foundation ofa rather bewildering variety of Dark Age and Mediaeval nations andstates. Culturally, the late phase of their Rhineland Kingdom providesthe source for the Germanic epic of the Nibelungenlied, the SiegfriedSaga. Perhaps their most enduring contribution, though, is a written codeof laws, compiled during (475 CE) the reign of Gundobad which provides apriceless view of Dark Age Teutonic society.
