Gilbert, Duke of Burgundy
- Gilbert, Duke of Burgundy
Gilbert of Chalon or Giselbert (died April 8 956) was duke of Burgundy between 952 and 956. He ruled Burgundy in the name of his wife, Ermengarde, sister of Hugh the Black, with whom he had two daughters: Adelais and Liutgarde. Gilbert never managed to maintain the independence of the duchy in the struggles for power of 10th century France. In 955, he became a vassal of Hugh the Great, count of Paris and was compelled to give his oldest daughter, Lieutgard, to Hugh's son Otto of Paris.
