Notater:
Stephen I (1065-1102), Count Palatine of Burgundy, shared his father's nickname "the Rash" (French tête hardie). He 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 his wife Stephanie. His younger brother was Pope Callixtus II.
Stephen succeeded to the County in 1097, following the death in the Crusades of his elder brother, Reginald II. He participated in the Crusade of 1101, helping with the capture of Ancyra and fighting in the disastrous Battle of Mersivan. Stephen would later die at the battle of Ramla in 1102. He was succeeded by his eldest son, Reginald III of Burgundy.
