	County of Burgundy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The County of Burgundy, in German Freigrafschaft Burgund, was a medieval county, within the traditional province and modern French region Franche-Comté, whose very French name is still reminiscent of the unusual title of its Count: Freigraf ('free count', or franc comte in French, hence the term franc(he) comté for his feudal principality).
		The kingdom itself collapsed among feudal anarchy in the 11th century, and the Duchy of Burgundy was founded by a cadet branch of the Capetian dynasty.
		The Counts for many years had to share power with the greater feudal families of the county, notably with the family of Chalon, which was descended from the Stephen III, count of Auxonne, grandson of William IV and Beatrice of Thiern, the heir of the county of Chalon.
