Historically municipalities in Burgundie derived their city rights from the rulers of the Kingdom of Dericania (''de jure'' the Emperor of the Levantines), by royal decree. However, as fiefdoms gave way to bourgeois trade hubs the power and rights of municipalities grew and royal charters gave way to popular charters around the 1860s. | Historically municipalities in Burgundie derived their city rights from the rulers of the Kingdom of Dericania (''de jure'' the Emperor of the Levantines), by royal decree.
