The 'Duchy of Burgundy', today Bourgogne, has its origin in the small portion of traditional lands of Burgundians west of river Saône which in 843 was allotted to Charles the Bald's kingdom of West Franks.
As it was known as their kingdom of Burgundy to France, the name Burgundy was attached over centuries to this border region, as most lands of the Burgundians lost central power and disintegrated into principalities known by other names. The Western kings appointed governors to this province with the title of Duke, and eventually the ducal position became hereditary.
===Bosonid dynasty===
The first margrave (''marchio''), later duke (''dux''), of Burgundy was Richard of the House of Ardennes, whose duchy was created from the merging of several regional counties of the kingdom of Provence which had belonged to his brother Boso.
His descendants and their relatives by marriage ruled the duchy until its annexation over a century later by the French crown, their suzerain.

★ Robert (1004–1016) (also king of France as 'Robert II')
★ Henry (1016–1032) (also king of France as 'Henry I')

Although the territory of the Duchy of Burgundy itself remained in the hands of France, the Habsburgs remained in control of the title of Duke of Burgundy and the other parts of the Burgundian inheritance, notably the Low Countries and the Free County of Burgundy in the Holy Roman Empire. They often used the term Burgundy to refer to it, e.g. the Burgundian Circle, until the late 18th century, when the Austrian Netherlands were lost to French Republic.

The title was shortly claimed by king Philip V of Spain (Philip VIII) of the House of Bourbon between 1700–1706 when the succession of the Spanish throne was disputed between the Houses of Habsburg and Bourbon.
At the same time, various members of the French royal family, most notably Louis, Dauphin of France, the father of Louis XV of France, also used the title.
