Details

These days, Burgundy is renowned for its wine and bucolic charms while the extent of its role in European history is perhaps overshadowed by later empires. Yet in its late medieval heyday when Burgundy was a Kingdom in all but name, Burgundian lands were the stage for many pioneering events, from religious reformism and colonialism to industrial manufacturing and development of capitalism.

Join Nirvana Romell for a talk ‘Burgundy – A Forgotten Power’ to learn how its ground-breaking advances in politics, art and culture affected the course of European history.

Nirvana's talk will be recorded and a link to view the talk will be emailed to all registrants within a few days of the talk taking place.

This talk is part of the Cambridge Alumni Travel programme, and is organised by Distant Horizons who will be arranging the alumni journey to Burgundy in September 2023 which will be accompanied by Nirvana Romell.
