Other Entities Called Burgundy
- The Duchy of Burgundy which in 843 was allotted to West Francia, became a feudal fief within the Kingdom of France. It roughly conforms to the modern French region of Bourgogne.
- The Free County of Burgundy (Freigrafschaft Burgund) was the neighbouring entity within the Holy Roman Empire from 867 to 1678, which since 1384 was held as an Imperial fief by the Burgundian duke Philip the Bold. Ceded to France in the Treaties of Nijmegen, it has been the French region (originally province) of Franche-Comté since then.

Famous quotes containing the words entities and/or called:
“The variables of quantification, ‘something,’ ‘nothing,’ ‘everything,’ range over our whole ontology, whatever it may be; and we are convicted of a particular ontological presupposition if, and only if, the alleged presuppositum has to be reckoned among the entities over which our variables range in order to render one of our affirmations true.”
—Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
“My mother had a maid called Barbary;
She was in love, and he she loved proved mad,
And did forsake her. She had a song of “Willow,”
An old thing ‘twas, but it expressed her fortune,
And she died singing it. That song tonight
Will not go from my mind.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
