	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.

	H-France Reviews (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		For her study of Burgundy, Edwards retains this notion of frontier as a zone of negotiation and recreation, but rather than seeing a frontier form through the encroachment of one culture upon another, she argues that a frontier formed in this case when a previously united Burgundy became divided.
		As the zones hardened toward the mid-sixteenth century, setting the county off from the duchy in more permanent terms, the era of frontier ended, and the division between county and duchy was transformed into a border.
		As Burgundy’s frontier era gave way to the starker divisions characteristic of borders, links across the region, from duchy to county, faded, while those between urban and rural zones continued.
