Although the source base concerning the Kingdom of Upper Burgundy in general is limited, contacts to the East Frankish Kingdom are documented in considerable proportion. This article takes a closer look at the special relationship between Upper Burgundy and the East Frankish Kingdom and analyses which role the Kingdom of Upper Burgundy played among the post-Carolingian kingdoms at the beginning of the 10th century. It focuses on the reign of Rudolph II of Upper Burgundy (912–937), as the beginning of his reign in 912 almost coincides with that of Conrad I (911–918), the first non-Carolingian ruler of the East Frankish Kingdom. First, the historical development of the Kingdom of Upper Burgundy and its ruling dynasty, the Rudolfians, is roughly sketched out. Next, the article provides an overview of political interactions between the Kingdom of Upper Burgundy and the East Frankish Kingdom during the reign of Rudolph II of Upper Burgundy, dealing, in particular, with the transfer of the Holy Lance. Finally, by exceeding the narrow conceptual framework of vassalage, this article suggests to reassess the complex relationship between the Kingdom of Upper Burgundy and the East Frankish Kingdom.
