The House of Burgundy (/ˈbɜːrɡəndi/) was a cadet branch of the Capetian dynasty, descending from Robert I, Duke of Burgundy, a younger son of Robert II of France. The House ruled the Duchy of Burgundy from 1032–1361.
The last member of the House was Philip of Rouvres, who succeeded his grandfather in 1349. Philip died childless in 1361 and the duchy reverted to his liege, who two years later created his son the new duke of Burgundy, thus beginning the Younger House of Burgundy.[1]
Notable members of the main line of the House of Burgundy include:
- Robert I, Duke of Burgundy
- Henry, Count of Portugal
- Hugh III, Duke of Burgundy
- Odo IV, Duke of Burgundy
- Margaret of Burgundy, the first wife and Queen of Louis X of France
- Joan the Lame, the first wife and Queen of Philip VI of France
- Philip I, Duke of Burgundy
The Portuguese Branch
The Portuguese House of Burgundy was the Portuguese cadet house of the House of Burgundy, founded by Henry, Count of Portugal in 1093. The senior legitimate line went extinct with the death of King Ferdinand I of Portugal in 1383, but two illegitimate lines, the Houses of Aviz and Braganza, continued to rule in Portugal and, later, Brazil, with interruptions, until 1910 and 1889 respectively.
