I was wondering this myself. There was always a Burgundy thread on Veeky Forums a while back. Have we lost our medieval hipster sensibilities?

>adopting the cross of Burgundy and trying to make the Belgian fascists call themselves "Burgunds"
>the whole plan about an "SS" state of Burgundy out of French, Belgian and Swiss territories
I hate the shitty meme, but
Was it Autism?

So you think the odds were against him? I think he was just a shortsighted idiot.

This. Burgandy owned the wealthiest parts of Europe and could have played with France and the HRE at their will
Cooper Thomas
That one thread lasted a month. It was glorious.
Camden Turner

Gimme the lowdown on Burgundy, boys. The only thing l know about it is that it's last ruler got his head cleaved in two.

>>Castile&Leon is left to rot on its own
That would be fucking retarded.The rulling houses of Castille were an offshot of the house of Burgandy and besides Castille was more powerful than Argon and Portugal combined

Castille inherited Aragon's Burgundian claims - they had nothing to do with the Burgundians until the joining of Castille with Aragon.
Dylan Scott
man, Burgundy was the most aesthetic dychy in europe, wish it crushed the swiss fucks at grandison

Castille was ruled by a Burgandian dinasty and the Trastamaras that ruled Aragon where of Castillian origin and a bastard cadet branch of the Ivreas.Also Aragon had none Burgandian claim

Belgium and the Southern Netherlands' lifestyle is still called Bourgondisch in the Netherlands. Pretty cool that such a concept survived. Gotta love being lion bros

First Duke was an affluent French prince that married himself into a ton of land.
Second Duke was too busy with backstabbing politics and got assassinated on a bridge in front of his son. Added some land though.
Third Duke was pretty based. Unified the Low Countries for the most part and brought glory to Burgundy.
Fourth Duke modernized the military and also got his head cleaved in half.
Had Burgundy not fallen, it may have acted as a buffer state between France and Germany, so things like the Thirty Years War and the Great War may have been very different.

They're obviously Dutch.

I never learned about Burgundy during School.
Where did they come from? Why did they end? What did they produce? Who were there allies, their ambitions, their achivements?
Isaac Peterson
Burgundy is actually a perfect case study for Americans to understand feudalism and how such a thing as Belgium could even be.
But sadly enough they fail at that too and have meme tier takes on it.
Camden Howard
why would they obsess over Burgundy when they have their golden age? Its Belgians who have nothing to LARP as
Christopher Williams
Most of the Dutch golden age was done by people from current day Belgium
Grayson Rogers
>implying it's not just one American with books
Ian Gutierrez

This would actually make sense
Sebastian Fisher
That's just sad.
Mason Perez
Because at the time both regions were part of it and they thus share this cultural heritage?

Most stereotypical feudal state but also most short lived.
Alexander Morris
>Stereotypical feudal state
Why?
Luis Foster
>During the Burgandian wars Charles' army was defeated in every battle and every siege.

Eli Parker
but they were faboulus during those defeats and sieges

Strifing lords, scandalous court life, tournaments and chivalry.
