Kingdoms burgondes
-
Conventionnellement and in order to avoid the amalgams, one will speak d'implantation before 443, then of royaume then (legitimation of the Foedus), though Rex could lead Burgondes auparavant.
The kingdoms Burgondes , legitimated into 443, are decentralized and there reign of the Kings burgondes simultaneously in the big cities which form part of it. It is probable that an alliance with the Royaume alaman, that corroborates a proximity in the organization of the capacity and the cultural syncretism, allowed their joint expansion on the Gallo-Roman Domaine after the falls of the Empire. Two original areas are detached, the Sapaudia and the Burgondie. Their passage marked these areas from an identity point of view for the continuation, fastening in Mérovingiens taking place by the means of an armed conquest. After 524, plus any autonomy of the capacity is not sensitive.
Tour into Germanic
- historical Context: late Antiquity
archaeological Cultures revealed in Germany during the fifty last years revealed two sites into Germanic before the contact with the Roman Empire.
-
It is possible that the Roman chroniclers of the military campaigns do not distinguish them from the Alamans at the time of the writing of their annals.
- Another assumption: this contact does not take place since Burgondes separate from the league of Alamans at the time when the Empire is into full délitement to take territories in the current zones of Switzerland, Austria, Frank the county and of the Alps.
443 is the year of their establishment as federate, treaty established by Aetius (their grounds will thus not form part of the future Gallo-Roman Domaine).
Once installed, they operate on the Rhone-native furrow and go up it until reaching a Acmé at the time of their contact with the frank Royaumes unified by Clovis.
Establishment in Sapaudia
- historical Context: Early middle ages
When the Roman Empire weakens, it authorizes Germanic people to be installed on its territory like “federate” ( fœderati ). These people receive grounds and part of the income of the tax, in exchange they must ensure the safety of the territory. Among them, the Burgondes, Germanic People of confession arienne, receive in 443 an area called Sapaudia (country of the fir trees), which corresponds to the current Savoy and most of the Swiss Plate. The territories controlling the alpine collars, as the Were worth (which then knew the immigration of part of the Roman elite of Sapaudia), remain as for them under the cut of the Romans.
Establishment in Burgondie
Another column obtains a foedus on behalf of Rome in certain parts of the area (valley of the Saone in particular, Dijon, Autun, etc) as from the year 443.
It is the geographical area of the " Burgundia" (Burgondie), very distinct from the geography of the current Burgundy taking into account the troop movements which will follow.
Unit of the kingdoms burgondes
Though the unification of the kingdoms burgondes was not carried out at the time where the frank Royaumes resulting from Saliens carries out it, they preserve a certain unit.
The Roman power crumbling, Burgondes transform soon Sapaudia into a true kingdom (in 476, shortly after that the chief hérule Odoacre deposits the last emperor Romulus Augustule). In the years which follow, they increase their kingdom considerably, in particular in the valley of the the Rhone (Lyon) and gain the control of Were worth and the alpine collars.
Their expansion thus relates to the current Burgundy and on all the Vallée of the Rhone, the the Alps until in Italy and current Provence and on all the Suisse and the Sapaudia on variable dates.
The unification is not obvious, Burgondes having adopted an operating process similar to the kingdom alaman with Co-reigns relating to the principal cities conquered on the Gallo-Romans: these centers of exercise of the capacity are Colonia Julia Vienna (Vienna) Vindobona -->, Vesontio (possibly partégée with Alamans), Ginebra, then (by conquest), Lugdunum.
On the other hand, the unit is manifest for the army burgonde in shift, which is interdependent for the conquests: by the South, Sapaudia reaches Provence by fights against the Royaume Visigoth, him also in full constitution. The mountainous separation of the alpine range isolates it from the Règne of Odoacre in Italy, then the Royaume ostrogoth which succeeds to him. Extension of Burgondie towards north at the end of the 5th century the fact neighbors of the Gallo-Roman Field then infiltrated by the Federate francs, brought to make a pact with them for its survival since it is encircled by the invaders (Saxon by north from the past, Alamans by the East, Burgondes by South-west, and Visigoths by Aquitaine along the Loire.
The Francs will take again the strategic problems and will one by one treat each one of these threats at the beginning of the 6th century.
A kingdom arien
Burgondes remain followers of the Christianity arien until the reign of Sigismond. In 515, this last, wire of the king Gondebaud, founds the Abbaye of Saint-Maurice d' Agaune, thus strengthening its conversion, and that of its people, with the confession of the Christianisme resulting from the Concile from Nicée.
Chronology
-
436 : Of Huns auxiliaries in the Roman armies put an end to Worms with the establishment burgonde of the Rhine.
-
443 : Aetius makes of Burgondes a federate Peuple, foundation of the kingdom in the provinces of the Gallo-Roman space.
-
457 : the kingdom burgonde takes Lugdunum with a catch by the auxiliary Troupes, to the great displeasure of Ægidius which makes secession of with the Empire in the Gallo-Roman Domaine.
Ten last years
August 1st after 524:
Posterity
Once become mérovingien, the pledged Royaume of Burgundy in Duché of Burgundy recovers a territorial conflict with what becomes the Royaume alaman, namely the Duché of Alémanie. This argument takes along until after the An millet, illustrating the identity print left by the arrival of Burgondes in these areas.
