A female leader of this place undid many of its powers by signing the Great Privilege. It took its name from a post-Roman tribe led by Godomar and the law-code creator Gundobad. A party of this name which fought against the Armagnacs in the 1400s was led by John the Fearless. One duke of this place was count of Charolais while he appointed his brother to figurehead the League of the Public Weal. It was dissolved after its leader was killed in the snow at Nancy. That leader, Charles the Bold, lost out to France's Spider-King Louis XI, ending a Duchy of this name which also included the modern Netherlands.
