Alternative History

The Kings and Queens of Arles are usually dated from its inclusion within the Holy Roman Empire however the Kingdom of Arles is in effect a continuation of the Kingdom of Burgundy, founded in the 4th century.

In 1263 Frederick III divided the Hohenstaufen realms (D. of Burgundy, K. of Arles, K. of Sicily) between his three sons. After Conrad of Sicily's death in 1268 Burgundy and Arles began an exhaustive struggle for dominance. This would largely allow 'Upper' Burgundy and Swabia to drift out of either entity's grasp and disintegrate into minor counties and imperial cities as emperors from other dynasties attempted to undermine Hohenstaufen authority.
