Stephen I, Count of Burgundy
- Stephen I, Count of Burgundy
Stephen I (1065–1102), Count Palatine of Burgundy, sharing his father's nickname "the Rash" (French "tête hardie"), was Count of Burgundy and Count of Mâcon and Vienne.
Born into a powerful and influential family, he was the son of Count William I of Burgundy and Stephanie of Longwy-Metz, and younger brother to Reginald II, Count of Burgundy and Pope Callixtus II.
Stephen succeeded to the County in 1097, following the death in the Crusades of his elder brother. He participated in the Crusade of 1101, helping with the capture of Ancyra and fighting in the disastrous Battle of Mersivan, from whence he barely escaped.
Stephen died shortly thereafter, in 1102, aged 37. He was succeeded by his eldest son, Reginald III of Burgundy.
