He succeeded his father as king of a reunited Burgundy in 937. Inthat
year the Hungarians made their most destructive attack on Burgundy.The
Saracens had been ravaging the Rhone valley for several years.
In his book, "The Lost Kingdom of Burgundy", Christpher Coperelates
the following event : "Conrad of Burgundy was named "the peaceful" but
in 954 he gained victory over the Saracens and Magyars in a coup which
may be unique in military history. When he learnt that the forces of
both Magyars and Saracens were on the warpath, he sent envoys to tell
the Magyars that the Saracens lay in wait for them and that if they
would join forces with the Burgundians they would together destroy the
Saracens. He then warned the Saracens of the Magyars' approach and
similiary promised them his help. Both invading armies were
successfully deceived; they engaged each other in battle just as the
Burgundian army, with a perfect sense of timing, appeared on thefield,
and Conrad continued to tell each side that he would shortly come toits
assistance. When he judged that the two hostile forces hadsufficiently
weakened each other, the Burgundians were launched against them and
both were brilliantly destroyed".
The next year, 955, the Emporer OTTO I (RIN 2119) finaly checkedthe
Magyars and later in Conrad's long reign, in 972, the Saracens were
finally driven from Provence by the Clunac abbott, Majolus. Thissuccess
inagurated an age of peace in Burgundy which brought prosperity and a
remarkable outburst of cultural activity.
We are descended from King Conrad through five of his daughters.Upon
his death in 993 Conrad was succeeded as king by his son, Rudolph III.
Gradually Burgundy became caught in the vice between the French on the
west and the Germans on the east and became a vassal state of the
Ottonian Emporers of Germany.

Unknown of Burgundy (RIN 4704) and wife of EUDES, COUNT OF LOGENHAE,
is perhaps his daughter. See her notes for details.
