Merovingian Dynasty
After Lothar's death in 855, his realm was divided between his sons. The Burgundian territories were divided between:
Lower Burgundy
After the division of the Carolingian Empire
by the Treaty of Verdun
(843), the first of the fraternal rulers of the three kingdoms to die was Lothair I
, who divided his middle kingdom
in accordance with the custom of the Franks between his three sons. Out of this division came the Kingdom of Provence, given to Lothair's youngest son, Charles
. A heritage of royal rule was thus inaugurated in Provence that, though it was often subsumed into one of its larger neighbouring kingdoms, it was just as often proclaiming its own sovereigns.
Bosonid Dynasty
In 933, Provence ceases to be a separate kingdom as Hugh exchanged it with Rudolph II of Upper Burgundy for the Iron Crown of Lombardy
, that is, rule of Italy.
In 1032 the kingdom of Upper and Lower Burgundy was incorporated into the Holy Roman Empire
as a third kingdom, the Kingdom of Arles
, with the King of Germany or Emperor as King of Burgundy.
and at his brother Charles'
death, gained some northern districts of the deceased's kingdom. When Lothar II died in 869, his realm was divided between his uncles Charles the Bald
and Louis the German
in the Treaty of Mersen.
When Emperor Charles the Fat
, who until 884 had reunited all Frankish kingdoms except for kingdom of Provence, died in 888, the nobles and leading clergy of Upper Burgundy assembled at St Maurice and elected Rudolph
, count of Auxerre, from the Elder Welf family, as king. At first, he tried to reunite the realm of Lothar II, but opposition by Arnulf of Carinthia
forced him to focus on his Burgundian territory.
In 1032 the kingdom of Upper and Lower Burgundy was incorporated into the Holy Roman Empire
as a third kingdom, the Kingdom of Arles
, with the King of Germany or Emperor as King of Burgundy.
Salian Dynasty
House of Nassau
House of Luxembourg
House of Luxembourg
House of Andechs
House of Burgundy
House of Valois-Burgundy
In 1678 the County of Burgundy was annexed by France as part of the Treaty of Nijmegen, and the title fell into abeyance.
Bosonid dynasty
The first margrave (marchio), later duke (dux), of Burgundy was Richard of the House of Ardennes, whose duchy was created from the merging of several regional counties of the kingdom of Provence which had belonged to his brother Boso
.
His descendants and their relatives by marriage ruled the duchy until its annexation over a century later by the French crown, their suzerain.
Robertian dynasty
House of Capet
In 1004, Burgundy was annexed by the king, of the House of Capet
. Otto II William continued to rule what would come to be called the Free County of Burgundy. His descendants formed another House of Ivrea
.
House of Burgundy
Robert
, son of Robert II of France
, received the Duchy as a peace settlement, having disputed the succession to the throne of France with his brother Henry
.
House of Valois-Burgundy
John II of France
, the second Valois king, successfully claimed the Duchy after the death of Philip
, the last Capet duke. John then passed the duchy to his younger son Philip
as an apanage.
, Archduke of Austria, giving the Habsburgs control of the remainder of the Burgundian Inheritance.
Although the territory of the Duchy of Burgundy itself remained in the hands of France, the Habsburgs remained in control of the title of Duke of Burgundy and the other parts of the Burgundian inheritance, notably the Low Countries
and the Free County of Burgundy in the Holy Roman Empire
. They often used the term Burgundy
to refer to it (e.g. in the name of the Imperial Circle
it was grouped into), until the late 18th century, when the Austrian Netherlands were lost to French Republic. The Habsburgs also continued to claim Burgundy proper until the Treaty of Cambrai in 1529, when they surrendered their claim in exchange for French recognition of Imperial sovereignty over Flanders and Artois.
