Web Notes notes for Gundicaire King Of Burgundy
KINGDOM OF THE BURGUNDIANS
AD 413 - 534
The Burgundians, like the Franks, did not play a great role in undermining the Western Roman Empire. They crossed the Rhine with the Vandals in 406 and settled along the west bank, making their capital at Geneva. Subjugated by the Huns in 437, they accepted Roman federate status and essentially moved into the vacuum of Roman power, being ceded Roman lands (443 & 458). King Gundobad was briefly a player in the last stages of Western politics, holding power as the commander of the Roman Army from 472 to 473. By 534, however, Frankish power could no longer be resisted, and Burgundy became another piece in the Frankish kingdom.
