	Nibelungenlied - LoveToKnow 1911
		Loki thereupon went back to the stream, where Andvari in the form of a pike was guarding a great treasure, caught him in a net, and forced him to surrender his hoard.
		Rodmar, for the sake of the treasure, was slain by his sons Fafnir and Regin; and Fafnir, seizing the whole, retired to a desolate heath and, in the form of a snake or dragon, brooded over the hoard.
		One day, while Siegfried and his wife were on a visit to the Burgundian court, the two queens fell to quarrelling on the question of precedence, not in a river but on the steps of the cathedral (Avent.

	Cycle of the Ring
		In the Norse Volsunga Saga, the Burgundian family was known as the Giukings or the Niflungs.
		In the Burgundian family, they were known as Giukings or Niflungs in the Icelandic and Norwegian sagas, while the family was called Nibelungs, in the later part of the poem.
		Hagen stole the Nibelung treasure from Kriemhild and sank the treasure in the Rhine.

	Nibelung - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The vast wealth of the Burgundians is often referred to as the Niblung or Niflung hoard.
		Although Nibelungs refers to the royal family of the Burgundians in the second half of the Nibelunglenlied (as well as in many other texts), in the first half Nibelungenlant is instead a kingdom on the borders of Norway of which Siegfried becomes the ruler.
		The alternate theory is that the connection with the treasure was indeed primary, and that nibel-, nifl-, meaning 'mist, cloud', referred originally to a dwarfish origin for the hoard, though this was later forgotten and the application of the name to the Burgundian royal family arose from misunderstanding.

		Upon his arrival, Hagen tells Gunther about Siegfried's youthful exploits that involved winning a treasure and lands from a pair of brothers, Nibelung and Schilbung, whom Siegfried had killed when he was unable to divide the treasure between them and, almost incidentally, the killing of a dragon.
		All of the Burgundians are killed except for Hagen and Gunther, who are bound and held prisoner by Dietrich of Bern.
		The word Nibelungen is transferred from a legendary race of Germanic dwarfs and their treasure, to the followers of Siegfried and finally to the Burgundians which are portrayed in the poem.

	NB online - The National Library - History
		In the imperial castle at Vienna, the treasure of Archduke Albrecht III (1349 or 1350-1395) was kept in sacristies in the south tower of the imperial chapel.
		The next treasures acquired for the library were masterpieces of Italian book art owned by Maximilian's second wife, Bianca Maria Sforza (1472-1510).
		The precious holdings of medieval treasures never left the Emperor's presence, whereas holdings of scientific books at the castle in Vienna were implemented during the 16th century by the acquisition of other scholarly libraries and printed books.

	Waltharius - LoveToKnow 1911
		King Gibich, here described as a Frankish king, gave Hagen as a hostage (of Trojan race, but not, as in the Nibelungenlied, a kinsman of the royal house) in place of his infant son Gunther; the Burgundian king Heririh, his daughter Hiltegund; and Alphere, his son Walter.
		Hagen and Walter became brothels in arms, fighting at the head of Attila's armies, while Hiltegund was put in charge of the queen's treasure.
		They were recognized at Worms, however, where the treasure excited the cupidity of Gunther.

	THE MOST ILLUSTRIOUS ORDER OF THE GOLDEN FLEECE
		This latter institution having been founded by the Burgundian Dukes in their own right, and not by virtue of their possession of Burgundy, could never be subject to the authoriy of the French Crown.
		Although the Treasure of the Order continued to be maintained at Bruges until the end of the eighteenth century, [22] the real seat of the Order moved to Spain with the succession of King Philip II.
		Next in rank was the Treasurer, who retained all the documentary records concerning the privileges of the Order and the companions and also its jewels, vestments, library, works of art and mantles, as well as controlling the funds of the Order.

		The Burgundian tribe was in fact destroyed by the Huns, although not under Attila’s leadership, in 435.
		His account of Siegfried’s acquisition of the treasure, and indeed of all his actions, differs markedly from the accounts in the Norse version of Siegried’s youth.
		Rüdiger, on the other hand, is torn between his loyalty to his friends, the Burgundians, and his duties as a vassal.

		The first two deal with legendary material beyond the reach of historical analysis; the latter two are firmly rooted in history.
		These accounts are probably nonhistorical, although a famous theory holds that Sigurð is a historical figure; his "dragon" slaying is a mythic account of the killing of the Roman general Arminius.
		A trusted adviser in the Nibelungenlied, in other sources he is a brother or half-brother of the Burgundian kings.

		In 437 the Burgundians suffered a major defeat at the hands of "Huns," probably not forces led by Attila, but rather Hunnish mercenaries in the employ of Rome.
		Siegfried is the possessor of the cursed Nibelung treasure.
		Fearing the loyalty the treasure could buy her, Hagen takes the treasure and sinks it in the Rhine while her brothers distract her.

	Seasick on the Serpentine
		The discoverer of the treasure is loathe to hand over his find to the treasury, especially as it may help to realise his swimming pool dream.
		Whilst the isolation of the Burgundians mirrors that of the citizens of West Berlin, it could also be seen to represent the embattled nature of Labour Britain, whose efforts to reconstruct the country as a social democracy were hampered by its economic reliance upon a foreign power.
		Intriguingly, though the Burgundians are hamstrung and seemingly discarded by the Whitehall ministers when they attempt to retain their treasure and autonomy, they are ultimately saved, by those same ministers' blockade, from the horrors of unfettered market forces.

		Nibelungs (or Nibelungen), in Germanic and Scandinavian mythology, a race of dwarfs or elves dwelling in Niflheim (or Nibelheim), a realm of mist or darkness.
		Because of its origins, the treasure never ceased to be tainted with corrupting greed and madness.
		Nibelungs were sometimes referred to as Niflungs, and the treasure, called the Rhine gold, was said to be guarded by the dwarf Andvari (or Alberich).

	The Nibelungenlied
		Alberich the Nibelung Treasurer thought that since Kriemhild was Siegfried's widow, then she had right to the treasure.
		Rather than use the treasure for herself, she continuously gave away treasure to friends and strangers who visited her.
		Since the last of his brother was dead, she demanded that she tell him to disclose the treasure whereabouts.

	Jehanne la Pucelle
		If they come near, shut your gates, for I will be very direct with you; if they come I will make them fasten on their spurs so fast that they will not know how to put them on and get out of there, and very quickly at that.
		And one party among those of the Burgundians turned toward the Maid in such great number that those of her company could not hope to save her.
		When the Burgundians and English saw that she was trying to return to the town, with a great effort, they came to capture the bridge.

	The Royal Orders of The Kingdom of Spain .
		Although it was claimed by the Carlists, and by some later writers, that Isabel's assumption of the Sovereignty of the Golden Fleece was in contravention of the Statutes, the original terms of the Burgundian succession would have placed her as the heir after the death of Ferdinand VII.
		Isabel II may be regarded as having a stronger claim than her uncle as heiress to the Golden Fleece under the terms of the original Burgundian succession, however, and she was able to maintain this claim more successfully as the de facto inheritor of the Spanish Crown, to which it had been tied in 1724.
		Nonetheless, in 1922 the Belgian King once again tried to claim the Treasure from the Austrians and the dispute was immediately before the hastily convened commission of jurists.

	The Nibelungenlied
		This treasure, with its accompanying curse, next passes into the hands of a human being named Sigurd (the Norse form of Siegfried, as we have seen), a descendant of the race of the Volsungs, who trace their history back to Wodan and are especially favored by him.
		The treasure may have entered the saga through the widespread idea of the dragon as the guardian of treasure, or it may represent the beauty of nature which unfolds when the season has conquered.
		As Kriemhild was the sister of the Burgundian kings, it was but natural to explain her killing of Attila, as described in the Norse versions, by her desire to avenge her brothers.

	Study 2, Fernando I and the origins of the Leonese-Castilian Alliance with Cluny
		The fact is that throughout Hispano-Cluniac history the Burgundian abbey never comes to possess a single dependency in all Aragon, or receives a royal donation of patrimonies, although Ramiro's grandson, Pedro I (1094-1104) must have been generous to the Cluniacs since they came to offer daily prayer for him in their Masses.
		Radulfus Glaber's Historiae notices a major Burgundian famine lasting through 1045 and 1046, the first such calamity the chronicler records after 1033, which can safely be taken as the one that in its second year drove the abbot of Cluny to press García for Spanish financial aid.
		We have noted the present tendency to minimize or deny Cluny's sponsorship of war against the infidel; and although the abbey's complete insulation is questionable in the light of her possible connection with the Barbastro crusade of 1064, the fact is Fernando I took no part in this operation.

	Englewood Wine Merchants \| Merchant's Pick Newsletter \| 2005 Ici/La-Bas Victoria \| Elke Vineyard, Alexander Valley, CA ...
		Great Burgundian acidity is complimented by buttery aromas of brioche, tropical fruit and spicy oak - oak that is perfectly integrated, never dominant and never masks the elegant attributes of this California Chardonnay.
		The 2005 vintage out of California, in particular Anderson Valley, produced wines of great quality possessing all the power and richness of New World Chardonnays as well as fantastic minerality and acidity of a Burgundy due to the cool growing and harvest conditions.
		This is not surprising since the wine is made by Jim Clendenen, the owner of Au Bon Climat Winery who is notorious for making wines with a Burgundian influence by capturing the essence of the terroir and retaining the natural acidity in the wine.

	Andrew Gough's Arcadia
		This takes us to the question of de Sede, who in 1965 I think it was, offered to sell me pictures of the treasure discovered by Berenger Saunière, which he said he had seen and was prepared to let me have photographs of.
		Very strange, because in the first letter there had been 7 pieces of treasure, and now he was offing to provide me with film of himself presenting 8 pieces of treasure, and for me to broadcast it on the BBC.
		He had already attempted to make a film which somebody had told him they found the treasure, and were going to dig it up.

The chamber, first organized on its present scale by the Empress Maria Theresa in 1747, is stuffed with the priceless booty of six centuries of royal rule over vast tracts of Europe, successful wars and carefully arranged dynastic marriages.
		First are displayed some early treasures, followed by the rather pretentious robes and insignia the Hapsburgs ordered in the 19th century after Holy Roman Emperor Francis II took the title Francis I, Emperor of Austria, in 1804.
