'''Bergendii corsairs'''( | '''Bergendii corsairs''' ([[Burgoignesc language|Burg]]: ''Corsarii Bergendii'') were Bergendii seafarers who raided and traded from the Isle of Burgundie across wide areas of Levantia, Kirav, Crona, and Audonia during the 8th to the late 15th century. In historic literature, particularly in Crona, Ixnay and Audonia, the term referred to all people from the Isle of Burgundie. The period is often classified into three periods or waves. | ||

The first wave, from the middle of the 8th century to approximately the end of the 10th century which was precipitated by uncharacteristically warm and calm years in the early 8th century. The population on the Isle of Burgundie boomed and the second and third sons coming of age in the middle of the century needed a livelihood. Wealthier families set up the sons as merchants, but poorer families who could not book their sons passage on the merchant voyages turned to petty piracy along the coast of northern Levantia, including their fellow Bergendii. | The first wave, from the middle of the 8th century to approximately the end of the 10th century which was precipitated by uncharacteristically warm and calm years in the early 8th century.
