General Information[]
Burgundy, at its start, is a Germanic Burgundione barbarian tribe mainly located in the Central Poland, Kuyavia and Malopolska areas, Poland region of the Eastern Europe subcontinent. The horde exists at the start of the timeline year 2, with cores, bordering fellow Germanic Sciria northwest, Vandalia west, Quadia south, Gepidia east and Gothia north.
In 190, Burgundy will emerge from Germanic tribes Suebia, Alemannia and Cheruscia located in the North Germany and South Germany regions of the Western Europe subcontinent, eventually migrates to the Burgundy, Romandie and Savoy areas, France region of the Western Europe subcontinent in 443, bordering Alemannia east and Chalcedonian West Rome in every other direction.
In 534, Burgundy is annexed by Chalcedonian Soissons and Neustria, emerges from Catholic countries West Francia, East Francia and Italy in 888, annexed by Quadia, Sciria and Slavic Vistula in 1490 and will fracture it's land to Catholic France, Lorraine, Provence, Alsace, Austria, Liege and Friesland in 1477.
Burgundy will not be on-map for the rest of the timeline, and lose its cores on September 4, 1870.
