The oldest flag for my state, Florida, was the flag of Burgundy. We still have the saltire of Burgundy in our flag but we simplified from a saltire raguly gules to a saltire gules (from a red, ragged, big X to a red, big X). That was the flag of Spain for some years after a duke of Burgundy was king of Spain for a few months in 1506. In 1513 Ponce de Leon planted the flag of Spain/Burgundy on the shore within a few miles of where I live -- maybe at the end of my street.
The Spanish throne was held by the Burgundian-Habsburg house for nearly 200 years, not just a few months. None of the Spanish kings were ever reigning dukes of Burgundy, though. The duchy was lost to France before the house of Burgundy married into the Habsburg and the Spanish royal houses. The cross of Burgundy was orignally used by supporters of the house of Burgundy during the Burgundy-Armagnac civil war, generations before there was ever talk of Burgundian kings of Spain.
Fun fact on the Burgundians: the House of Savoy was Burgundian in origin, and got its start by helping the HRE defeat the Burgundian Kingdom of Arles. In a way, the Burgundians ended up conquering Rome.😅
@MarianLuca-rz5kk The official name was Regnum Burgundiae and was born from the unification of two Burgundian successor states, it was Burgundian. And separate from the Duchy of Burgundy that was, at least in theory, part of the Kingdom of France.
A cool fact about the Alans is that they are Iranic. Alan and Aryan are cognates and their closest living descendants are the Ossetians in the Caucasus :)
@@xHASSUNAx Alans was a Sarmatian tribe closed allied of The Germanic Vandals people! In early 5th century AC both decide to enter in the western Roman Empire crossing the Rine river arriving in the Iberic peninsula and in the following in North Africa in the modern Tunisian territory! 🙏
Hello. I have a question, or perhaps a video request that totally relates to the Bergundy. Autun was the center of power before the conquest of Gaul. From what I know, this city was highly influential in the region because this was the capital of the Aedui. They were the number one ally of the Romans in the region even before Julius Cesar's time. Augustus rebranded the City (Augustodunum) and made it second to Rome. It has a giant Colosseum and theater to matched Rome's. Many senatorial seats created by Julius Cesar were for the Aedui representatives. My question is, what happened to the Aedui city of Autun? The Bergundy occupied the same territory many centuries later, but the city was still there.
8:27 why does Ricimer looks like Ray Stevenson? 😭😭😭😭 On the other hand, loved the video, I've always been interested more in the Burgundians, as they Were very powerful, but got outshined and absorbed by neighbors. I'd say Lombards, Burgundians, Vandals and Franks were the most influential to the fall of Rome among the Germanics. Greetings from 🇨🇴
I belong to the Burgondes folk, from the Savoie region in France. 15 centuries after they came, there is still an impact in my region: I have blue eyes, fair hair (they turn to grey...) and my haplogoup is I1. Rememer that Chothild, a burgonde princess, was the wife of Clovis, the first french king :)
France as a French state didn't exist until after the splitting of the Frankish realm well after the 800s. Clovis was a Frank and King of the Franks(dutch/old dutch), hence why the sallic law is literally written in old dutch and latin(standard administrative language of the time)but not French. French have no relation to the Franks besides those in the wallonian and picardian areas who have some mixing with the Franks who settled past the rhine in Gallia-Belgica(Flemish, Brabantish, Limbirgish etc).
It will be interesting if this channel makes a video about the Battle of the Nations. It is well known that Flavius Aetius defeated Attila in the Battle of the Catalaunian Fields. Many historians such as Mary Beard and Ian Hughes (the latter even wrote a book, “Aetius: Attila's Retribution”) think so. According to most historians in the world, the Romans defeated the Huns and their success is indicated by such obvious facts as: 1) The city of Orleans withstood the siege of the Huns, which is why they were unable to capture it and attack another city, Toulouse. 2) During the Battle of the Catalaunian Fields, the Huns suffered heavy losses, which is why they retreated from Gaul. Thanks to which the spoils from the battlefield went to Flavius Aetius and it became a symbol of his victory over Attila, Prosper of Aquitaine and Gregory of Tours wrote about this. 3) The attempt of the Huns to subjugate the inhabitants of Roman Gaul failed, since the Roman vassals Merovech and Chlodebaud became the kings of the Salian and Ripuarian Franks!
The tribe that contributed >90% to the fall of Rome was, without any shade of doubt, the Huns. Their invasion of Europe started in 370 when they first crossed the Volga on their way from Central Asia. During the next 70 years, most of local tribes that formerly inhabited Eastern and Central Europe suddenly dissapeared from written history. They were massacred to the last man. Survivors fled in terror towards the South or West, seeking shelter as far away as they could. Visigoths, Ostrogoths, Burgundians, Suebi, Vandals, Alans and others were nations actually running away from the Hunnic onslaught, prefering to fight the Romans for a new place to live, rather than facing total extinction in their former homelands at the hands of the Huns.
@@chris894r It is interesting that in the Battle of Nedo in 454, the Huns lost to the Ostrogoths and Gepids. Then they lost to Byzantium in 467 in the battle of Serdica (the capital of Bulgaria is Sofia). And of course, after the defeat of the Huns in the Battle of Bassines in 468, the Huns as a tribe disappeared among the stronger Germanic tribes!
@@РимскийОрел It took a great coalition of practically all the other tribes to be able to defeat the Huns at Nedao. Gepids were the organizers of the coalition, but the hatred towards the Huns was so great that everybody participated: Ostrogoths, Heruli, Suebi (remnants of the Quadi), Rugians, Sciri and so on.
It would be nice to mention the burgundian wedding that a roman attended and was full of admiration of in his description. I do not now remember where i read about it.
Clovis married Clotilde, daughter of Chilpéric 2, king of the Burgundians, and became Catholic. While most of the “barbarian” invaders became Arian Christians. Thus the Franks, by establishing their alliance with the Pope of Rome, built the bases of their domination. Clovis épousa Clotilde, fille de Chilpéric 2, roi des Burgondes, et devint catholique. Alors que la plupart des envahisseurs "barbares" devinrent des chrétiens ariens. Ainsi les francs en établissant leur alliance avec le pape de Rome, construisirent les bases de leur domination.
@@HenriBourjade yeah....clovis was a clever man. he did what he needed to do in order to establish frankish rule .... permanent frankish rule in gaul and by doing so he had good relations with the pope and even with constantinople as since 507 ad (when he dfeated the allamani))he was appointed officially as the eastern emperors' representative in roman gaul as he became a roman consul and gaul in theory at least remained part of the roman empire at least until the early 7nth century and as long as the merovingians were in power.

Sabastian may I recommend considering the Mediterranean Sea as one of the causes of the fall of the empire considering that neither Persia nor China have a sea in the middle of their states.
The word burgundian comes from the Bourbones the dynasty that united by the sword these german cavemen into a horde that subjugated the Lyon region . The dynasty colapsed under the war created by Clovis's kids but small cadet branches survived as count of Clermont and dukes of Provance , after 843 the division of the carolingian state Most of Burgundy was rulled by carolingian kings and a small duchy was rulled by the former counts of Clermont and maried with the carolingians that crated the duchy kingdom of Burgundy that was in theory vasal both to the Habsburgs and the capetians (cadet caroligian branch) but a lot was independent it was yet again conqueered by France but yet again a cadet brach survived and being related to the Caroligians became kings of France until the revolution
Good video but what are the proof that the crushing of Burgundian by Artois and Huns are the original material for Myth of Nibelungen ? Not when they flee from the eastern germania ?
So the Franks were not actually enemy's of the roman empire as often thought of as but actually a vassal and defender of the empire so that means they were part of the roman empire too. That part is also often ignored as if that territory now somewhat was no longer roman. But i read that they were never given citizenship tho as romans am i correct? Would the germanic tribes not invade the empire and would the Franks have won, the roman empire might have flourished..
The term Frank was invented by Clovis (a half roman half germanic warlord that created France ) to describe both germanics and latins in his land . Do a video on what will hapend if Syagrius was the victor in the batlle of Soisons (the most underated batlle ever and posibily the most important that changed the entire world history. 486 France is made . Civil wars due to partition . 560 Dagobert creates confederate partition (the main difrenca it is thta the eldest son is king the rest become his vasals) one of these dukes was Pepin father of Charles Martel ( 751 was not the end of the Merovingians but the replacement of the main Merovingian branch by a cadet Merovingian branch). 800 Charlamagne conquers most of Europe. 843-~1000 The division of the Carolingian empire created most medieval kindoms and thus close to all Colonial Empires were ruled by Carolingian cadet branches. Even today Charlamngne and thu Clovis's descendents are still kings of Spain alright as a constitution the still made the laws that needet to be acepted by parlament.
Good. It was necessary. Without the Germanic Heroic Ethos blending into Hellenic Christianity and adding steel to its backbone, the West would have fallen to Islam.
