JEANNE D’ARC
AND
THE BURGUNDIAN QUESTION
by Pierre Beaudry, 3/12/2015
“If you want to end war once and for all, get rid of British geopolitics.”
Dehors Debonneheure
What was the historical form of zeusian imperialism that Jeanne d’Arc had to fight
against and was able to partially destroy within France by her martyrdom?” The short answer in
one word is: “Burgundy.”
The Burgundians had emigrated from the Nordic regions of Scandinavia, most notably
from the Baltic Island of Bornholm (Island of the Burgundians). After reaching the West Bank of
the Rhine River in 496 AD, the Burgundians settled into a region that became known as the
Kingdom of Burgundy. The original borders of Burgundy reached into Germany, Savoy, and
Switzerland and were historically centered on modern day Lyon, France. The Burgundy
Kingdom was taken over by the Franks in 532 AD and the Burgundians became assimilated
within the Merovingian kingdoms. However, throughout history, the Kingdom of Burgundy and
much later, the Duchy of Burgundy, have been used as an imperialist thorn in the eastern side of
France. Why?
What is of interest, here, is not Burgundy, per se, or the Burgundians. It is how Burgundy
was successively used for imperial purposes by Venice, by the Black Death English invaders, by
the Habsburg Empire, by the two French Empires, and again, by the British Empire in World
War I and World War II. The reason why is because of British geopolitics, because of

Burgundy’s so-called “geographical location.” Burgundy is a border region, and wherever you
have a border people between two other powers, you have the fallacy of composition called
British geopolitics. It is in that sense that Burgundy is to Germany and France what Ukraine is to
Russia and Western Europe.
But, why did the British invent geopolitics? Why did they choose to manipulate border
peoples located between two other powers? What is the logic behind such a fallacy of
composition? As Lyn demonstrated, the answer to that question goes back to the Greek myth of
Zeus and Prometheus, the actual western origin of imperialism. And, the intention behind
Zeusian Imperialism is to reduce the number and control the growth of human beings on this
planet. That is why the British oligarchy wishes to maintain their imperialist power over the
world today, and use the dumb Americans to do their biddings.

I know of at least six moments in history when Burgundy was used as a conflict area to
trigger a war between France and Germany for precisely the intention just cited above.

1) After Charlemagne’s three grandsons divided the Carolingian Kingdom into
three different warring regions, notably, Francia, Lotharingia (Burgundy), and Germania
at the Treaty of Verdun of 843, the Venetians orchestrated the Norman invasion of
Europe. See map Figure 2.
2) During the Hundred Years War (1337-1453), when Jeanne d’Arc saved France
from the English-Burgundian alliance, the Burgundians had reconstructed almost the
entire original Lotharingia region including the control over the Netherlands, Belgium,
and Luxemburg, but with the exception of Lorraine, Savoy, Dauphiné, and Provence. See
map Figure 3.
3) During the Thirty Years War (1618-1648), the Spanish Habsburg had total
control of Lotharingia region and used it as a corridor during the Eighty Years War of the
Netherlands.
4) Lotharingia was the prize again during World War One (1914-1918), when
France took Alsace and Lorraine back from Germany.
5) Lotharingia was also a pretext for World War II (1939-1945), when the Nazis
took Alsace and Lorraine back in addition to the rest of France and Europe.
6) The Maastricht Treaty of 1992 was a return to Lotharingia’s imperial policy.
Since then, Europe has been run by an imperial satrapy located in the Netherlands,
Belgium, and Luxembourg, which has eliminated the sovereign nation states of Europe
and pitted each against the other under the guise of a monetary unity policy called the
Euro.
The intentional imperial design of Lotharingia was to create a buffer state between
France and Germany in order to keep them separated. The name Lotharingia (Lothringen)
disappeared at the end of the Middle Age and was substituted with the name of Lorraine, the
birthplace of Jeanne d’Arc.

Burgundy part of Lotharingia which became Hapsburg imperial territory.

If one looks at how the borders of France with Germany kept changing throughout
history, one will not be surprised to see that the Rhine River has been, since Charlemagne, the
moving boundary between war and peace in Europe as a whole. Solve the problem of the
imperial design of Lotharingia (Burgundy) and you will discover the peace of Europe.
At the siege of Compiegne (1430) Jeanne d’Arc was captured by the Burgundians and
handed over to the English for trial as a witch. She was tried by the pro-English Catholic Bishop
of Beauvais, Pierre Cauchon, on spurious charges, was declared guilty, and was burnt twice at
the stake on May 30, 1431, at the age of 19. Twenty five years later, Pope Callixtus III
reexamined the case, found her innocent, and declared her martyr. She was canonized as Sainte
Jeanne d’Arc, Protector of France, in 1920. For a strategic understanding of Jeanne d’Arc’s
mission, see THE MILITARY GENIUS OF JEANNE D’ARC AND THE CONCEPT OF
VICTORY by Irene Beaudry.
When Louis XI created the nation state of France in 1477, after winning the Burgundian
War against Charles the Bold, Duke of Burgundy, the territories of Low Burgundy (Netherlands,
Belgium, and Luxembourg) and of High Burgundy reverted to Emperor Maximilian I of Austria
by marriage. The only territory the English had not relinquished, at that time, was the port city of
Calais on the English Channel, a back door that had been left open to let the Black Death of the
English in. See my report on AUGUSTE RODIN’S THE BURGHERS OF CALAIS AND THE
BLACK DEATH POLICY OF THE ENGLISH.
