History[edit | edit source]

Some scholars believe that the Burgundians are named after Bornholm; the Burgundians were Germanic people who moved west when the Western Roman Empire collapsed and they occupied Burgundy in France.
Swedish forces conquered the island in 1645, but returned the island to Denmark in the following peace settlement. After the war in 1658, Denmark ceded the island to Sweden under the Treaty of Roskilde.
Bornholm, as a part of Denmark, was captured by Germany on 10 April 1940, and served as a lookout post and listening station during the war, as it was a part of the Eastern Front. During the Soviet bombing of the two main towns on the 7th and 8th of May, Danish radio was not allowed to broadcast the news because it was thought it would spoil the liberation festivities in Denmark.
