The largest ethnic group in Burgundie are the [[BergesMenn]] (Eng. Burgundian; Lat. Bergendi) were the people who, in the 8th and 9th centuries, gave their name to Burgundie. They were descended from [[Helvianir]]ian vikings who stopped on the [[Isle of Burgundie]] to hold a funeral for their Great Chief Berge the Bold, and named the place BergesSee (Eng. Berge's Sea; Lat. Mare Berge) in his honor. Through generations of assimilation and mixing with the mainland Gaelic and Latinic populations, their descendants would gradually adopt the Latin/Christian-based cultures of [[Levantia]], ultimately resulting in their own assimilation into the [[Levantia|Levantian]] society. The distinct cultural and ethnic identity of the [[Bergendii]] emerged initially in the first half of the 10th century, and it continued to evolve over the succeeding centuries. | The largest ethnic group in Burgundie are the [[BergesMenn]] (Eng.

The [[Bergedii]] are noted both for their cultures, such as their unique sub[[Artic]] architecture and musical traditions, and for their significant maritime accomplishments and innovations. Burgundian cultural and maritime influence spread from these new [[Levantia|Levantian]] centers to the trading posts as far south as [[Yytuskia]]. | ||

They formed the group termed the proto-Burgundians and have a long history in northern Levantia. These groups also constitute large parts of the [[Faneria]]n and [[Fiannria]]i populations and as such share a cultural bond with those peoples. In the 1700 and early 1800s they were subjected to mild Burgundification efforts as Burgundian separatism from collapsing [[Fiannria]]i domination in the region. Modern Gaels are treated equally as ethnic differences became less important and the Princes of Burgundie focused on joining the nation together following independence in 1812. Power in the Gaedhealtacht (the electorates of Glenmoor, Solibris, as well as the [[principlaity of DunDrummin]]) is more devolved then in most other areas in Burgundie as the Burgundian government had been previously accused of not understanding Gaelic issues. | ||
