Yes, the Burgundians were something of a schismatic or divisive French tribe. they had captured Joan of Arc, and after holding her prisoner for a time, turned her over to the English. Burgundy was never a Nation State but is a region in present-day France known for the Viniculture- Burgundy wines, for example.
Joan of Arc was captured by the Burgundians during a battle in May of 1430. In November she was sold to the English, and in December was taken to Rouen for trial. She remained a prisoner through various trials and ordeals and was finally executed--burned at the stake in the Rouen public square--on May 30, 1431.

Burgundy sided with Britain in the war
Joan of Arc fought the English and Burgundians during the 100 Years War
They didn't want to ransom Joan of Arc like they usually would with important figures because then she would go back to leading the French Army and since the French Army was winning under her command that would have been bad for the Burgundians because they were allied with England against France. So rather than ransom her and let her return to her country, they sold her.
Actually, the French were responsible for Joan's death. The Burgundians were French who favored British rule. They captured Joan and dold her to the British. She was tried in a Church court of French clergy loyal to Britain and her executioner was a Frenchman. The British wanted her dead because she had embarrassed and humiliated the British army. They thought that, if they removed her from leadership, the French army would become demoralized and the British could again gain the upper hand in the conflict.
There were over a hundred countries that were not part of World War I.
The Burgundians were ethnic French who supported the British and along with the British army they had been defeated in battles by Joan of Arc. They were anxious for revenge and saw their opportunity to take Joan prisoner when she let her guard down during a retreat. Joan had ordered her army to retreat and take cover after they attacked the Burgundian camp at Margny. Being a good leader, Joan held the rear while her soldiers took shelter and was captured at that time.
