The following appears at the bottom of the article, but I think it should be in the lead:

For the most part of its history, the Burgundian State was not a sovereign state. The dukes of Burgundy were de jure the vassals of the king of France and the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire, even if de facto they were true sovereigns.

The article speaks of a "great principality between France and the Empire", but it was in both. Srnec (talk) 15:10, 25 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

In the lead, I added this:

a complex of territories (...) composed of French and imperial fiefs

I think it is enough. You're right about the "great principality", I do not have a better title for this part so I let someone else change it. Praundo (talk) 22:01, 25 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
