Why "Duke of Burgundy"???

edit

I miss an explanation why they are called "Duke of Burgundy"... I consider this all the more sad - and, to be honest, a little despicable - as the main page quotation plays expressly on that designation... --Terminally uncool (talk) 07:58, 26 October 2016 (UTC)Reply

According to this reference (in the expandable 'History' section), it was first (?) named thus by "Harris (1766)". This would be Moses Harris in his 1766 The Aurelian or natural history of English insects (67 years previously another writer had called it "Mr. Vernon's Small Fritillary"). However, no mention of the name's origin is given in the 1840 New Edition of Harris's work. As a former amateur lepidopterist I don't recall ever encountering an explanation. I had wondered if it was due to some fancied resemblance to the coat of arms of the Dukes of Burgundy, but there is no obvious correlation. {The poster formerly known as 87.81.230.195} 2.123.24.56 (talk) 00:44, 10 August 2019 (UTC)Reply
