The bourgeoisie ([[Burgoignesc language|Burg]]|''burgesie'') is a legal term from the Middle Ages referring to the inhabitants having the rights of citizenship and political rights in a city (see [[City Rights and Town Privileges in Dericania]]). While the legal distinction remains in [[Burgundie]], the reference is now a more general term to describe the people of the city, as opposed to those of rural areas. It is most commonly used in lay speech to refer to people with a certain cultural and financial capital belonging to the middle or upper middle class: the upper (haute), middle (moyenne), and petty (petite) bourgeoisie (which are collectively designated "the bourgeoisie"); an affluent and often opulent stratum of the middle class who stand opposite the proletariat class. | {{Template:Culture in Burgundie}}The bourgeoisie ([[Burgoignesc language|Burg]]|''burgesie'') is a legal term from the Middle Ages referring to the inhabitants having the rights of citizenship and political rights in a city (see [[City Rights and Town Privileges in Dericania]]).

The "burgesie" in its original sense is intimately linked to the existence of cities recognized as such by their urban charters (e.g. municipal charter, town privileges), so there was no bourgeoisie "outside the walls of the city" beyond which the people were "peasants" submitted to the stately courts and manorialism (except for the traveling "fair bourgeoisie" living outside urban territories, who retained their city rights and domicile). | The "burgesie" in its original sense is intimately linked to the existence of cities recognized as such by their urban charters (e.g. municipal charter, town privileges), so there was no bourgeoisie "outside the walls of the city" beyond which the people were "peasants" submitted to the stately courts and manorialism (except for the traveling "fair bourgeoisie" living outside urban territories, who retained their city rights and domicile). | ||
