Burgundy

Historical region in France

Burgundy ( BUR-gən-dee; French: Bourgogne [buʁɡɔɲ] ; Burgundian: Bregogne) is a historical region in France, broadly corresponding to the territory of the former administrative region of the same name, which existed from 1982 to 2015 before it was merged on 1 January 2016 into Bourgogne-Franche-Comté. Its capital is Dijon. Named after the Burgundians, Burgundy was historically associated with several political entities, most notably the Duchy of Burgundy, which emerged in the early Middle Ages and later became one of the most important principalities of the Kingdom of France.
