Abstract

This work aims to reflect on the motives underlying the rivalry between Alamanni and Burgundians according to Latin sources. To do so, we propose to carry on a comparative study between both peoples in order to problematize the traditional interpretation according to which the reason for the conflict resided in the diversity of their respective political structures.
