In what way is this different from the Kingdom of the Burgundians
Do both articles refer to the same Kingdom? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Skulldyvan (talk • contribs) 15:14, 2 August 2014 (UTC)

Wasn't the Kingdom of Bohemia a kingdom?
The article says that [the Kingdom of Arles] "was one of the three kingdoms within the medieval Empire, the others being the Kingdom of Germany and the Kingdom of Italy". Wasn't the Kingom of Bohemia also a kingdom (since the beginning of the 13th century) and an imperial state of the HRE? Imerologul Valah (talk) 16:24, 31 July 2017 (UTC)


 * The status of Bohemia vis-à-vis the Empire is somewhat complicated. The kingdoms of Italy and Burgundy were added to that of Germany to make the Empire as we know it (as a stable enduring state), while Bohemia was originally ruled by dukes who were vassals/tributaries of the German king. As a kingdom, it was a member or state of the Empire, having the same basic status as the March of Brandenburg, the Grandy Duchy of Tuscany or the County of East Frisia (but obviously of higher rank). Germany, Italy and Burgundy, however, became little more than constitutional constructs, shadows of once real kingdoms. Whether Bohemia should be regarded as a part of Germany within the Empire or just a part of the Empire separate from Germany has actually been a point of scholarly contention in the past.

Historic region OR kingdom in the Frankish Empire (543 - 687/843)
I would like to draw your attention to the fact that at this moment, the wikipedia articles in different languages on this wikidata item (Q530670), describe different things. The largest group describes this item as a historic region and follows the history of all the kingdoms and others states named Burgundy which existed once in the whole history (this en-wiki + nl, id, ja, pt,...). Other wikis restrain the description of this item to the Kingdom of Burgundy in the Frankish Empire (from 543 to 687/843): fr-wiki, es-wiki, de-wiki,... Please join the discussion on this wikidata item to clear out this contradiction. Grutman (talk) 15:12, 11 April 2018 (UTC)
