where the burgundians came from

The Burgundians were an East Germanic people who originally inhabited the region around the Baltic Sea, specifically near the Vistula River in present-day Poland. During the late Roman Empire, they migrated southward and westward. In the 5th century, they settled in the area of the Rhine River, in what is now eastern France and western Switzerland. After their migration, the Burgundians established a kingdom known as the Kingdom of the Burgundians, which became an important player in the political landscape of post-Roman Europe. The Burgundian kingdom was ultimately absorbed into the territory of the Frankish Empire in the 6th century, but the cultural legacy of the Burgundians remained in the region. The name "Burgundy" continues to refer to a historical and geographical area in modern France.
