Like the Tapestry animation! Very Monty-Pythonesque. Who was the Burgundian King at this time?

The tapestry and the ending are nice touches. Do you have this book link It was the first I'd even seen about this battle. Quite a bit of heraldry and other details.

Many thanks for your kind words… @Brucka : Monty-Pythonesque? Wouaouh, I really appreciate the compliment…And I think Hilperic was the name of the Burgundian King in 1325, not sure… @ Swampster : yes, I have this book, what a collection isn't it? Once again, thanks everyone! All the best, Phil.

There wasn't a King of Burgundy as such. Those parts of Burgundy which were part of the Empire were part of the theoretical Kingdom of Arles which was one of the titles held by the King of the Romans/Holy Roman Emperor. The Dukes of Burgundy were Capetians, related to the Kings of France way back in the 11th century but also through various marriages. The Duke at the time of Varey was Odo or Eudes IV, son-in-law of Philip V of France. He acquired more bits of Burgundy as co-ruler with his wife, who had inherited them from her mother. Robert of Burgundy (at Varey) was Count of Tonnerre. He was the youngest son of a previous duke of Burgundy and brother of both the previous and current Dukes.
