Quick Summary

The Kingdom of Arles, also known as the Kingdom of Burgundy, was a medieval kingdom located in what is now eastern and southeastern France. Arles, the city from which the kingdom derived its later name, was its capital.12

The kingdom was established in the 10th century. Rudolf II, king of Burgundy from 912 to 937, also ruled Italy for a period during the chaotic end of the Carolingian era. After his reign, the kingdom was united under his rule. In the 12th century, Arles emerged as an independent entity, excelling in commerce and navigation, before being absorbed into Provence in 1239.23
