Burgundy, County of

Years: 982 - 1137

The Free County of Burgundy (French: Franche Comté de Bourgogne; German: Freigrafschaft Burgund), is a medieval county (from 982 to 1678), 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).

It should not be confused with the more westerly Duchy of Burgundy (Bourgogne), a fiefdom of Francia since 843.
