This office was confirmed in 1152 and held by the Zähringen dukes until 1218, hence they are sometimes called "Dukes of Burgundy", although the existing Duchy of Burgundy was not an Imperial but a French fief.
See amet kinnitati aastal 1152 ja Zähringi hertsogid hoidsid seda aastani 1218, seega kutsutakse neid mõnikord "Burgundia hertsogiteks", kuigi olemasolev Burgundia hertsogkond ei olnud keiserlik, vaid Prantsuse lään.
