- Burgundy can lay claim to the honor of being the oldest post Roman kingdom of Europe. In the year A.D. 413, three years after the sack of Rome by the Goths, Gunther established the Burgundian Kingdom on the banks of the Rhine with its capital at Worms. The Burgundians were closely related to the Goths, and, like them, probably had southern Norway or Sweden as their homeland and migrated to central Europe by way of the island of Bornholm. They settled first in Poland and then in southern Germany.
Gunther was the head of the ruling clan known as the Nibelungs. The Burgundians were the most Romanized and civilized of all the barbarian tribes. In 436, Gunther moved his people across the Rhine and into the Roman province of Gaul. This provoked enough fear in the Emperor that he called upon the assistance of the universally feared Huns who were lead by Attila. The Burgundians were massacred in the ensuing battle and Gunther was among the dead. Recovery from this loss, however, was very swift.
