To Rmhermen on Burgundian see Burgundians for people. The language is very difficult, but a website from ch/Switzerland gives info in German. 'Lex Burgundionum" = Burgunderrecht= Laws of the Burgundians - one of the oldest Germanic law records, by Gundobad + 516 , Laws written down are based on tribal Germanic custums. and by king Sigismund + 523/4 "Prima Constitutio". Burgundian soldiers , originally from Baltic Sea, Vistula to Rheinland , Worms area had soldiers as "hospites" in Roman service. Then came to (later)Burgundy, Swabia (Schwaben), Switzerland, Savoyen. , settled in 443 :"Sapaudia". and 457 in province Lugdunensis. Language remnants are very sparse, a Burgunder king daughter married Theoderic the Great. Some history in "Niebelungen Lied" and in later Switzerland in: "Burgundische Eidgenossenschaft" see external Swiss link in Germanhttp://www.Snl.ch/dhs/externe/project/textes/D8028.html user:H.J.
