Payerne Priory was a Cluniac monastery at Payerne, in Vaud, Switzerland. The monastery is a Swiss heritage site of national significance.

Conrad II, also known as Conrad the Elder and Conrad the Salic, was the emperor of the Holy Roman Empire from 1027 until his death in 1039. The first of a succession of four Salian emperors, who reigned for one century until 1125, Conrad ruled the kingdoms of Germany, Italy and Burgundy.

List of kings of Burgundy includes all kings of Burgundy, as a historical realm that went through several political transformations, being established at first as the Ancient Kingdom of Burgundy (411-534), and later revived as the Welfish Kingdom of Burgundy (933-1032). It continued to exist as the Kingdom of Burgundy (Arles) within the Holy Roman Empire.
