LYONNAIS

After the division of the Carolingian Empire, the region was part of the Kingdom of Burgundy. The disintegration of Imperial control over especially after the fall of the Hohenstaufen in 1254, led to French encroachment in the region, and the Lyonnais was acquired by King Philip IV of France in 1313. Lyonnais now often refers to the region surrounding Lyon.
'Lyonnais' is a dialect of the Arpitan language that is spoken in the region.
