One of the most noteworthy lost kingdoms or states in European history which had an opportunity to change the dynamics of power on the continent was the often mentioned but seldom explored state of Burgundy, specifically the Duchy of Burgundy, whose lands were contested between between the still emerging and still centralizing Kingdom of France and Holy Roman Empire. The Duchy of Burgundy, under the leadership of Duke Charles the Bold of Burgundy, sought to emulate French centralization and establish a Burgundian Kingdom as a powerful and wealthy buffer-state between France and the HRE. This follows on the back of the Hundred Years War between France and England, when the English attempted to conquer the whole of France, but were ultimately repelled. Burgundy had supported England against France, and like the English Kingdom, now sought to assert their independence from the French, but with the medieval period coming to an end, and powerful states with centralized governments and monarchs taking prominence, Burgundy's arrival may have come a little too late. But what if that changed? What if in an alternate timeline Europe's lost kingdom had survived? How would Burgundy effect European politics? Who would be Burgundy's allies? What would happen to France? We'll be explaining and exploring how Europe's lost kingdom could have survived, and what the consequences of that would be in this alternate history.
