What's interesting about that is why is it a deliminating year? The Battle was important, but it's surprising that it was important enough to be included in barbarian law.
Is it possible that after success at the Battle the Catalaunian plains, the Burgundians on Attila's side were incorporated into the Burgundian Foederati (Under Gundioc) around Aventicum?
I'd imagine that due to their proximity and a large chance of success, they may have expected land in Gaul from Attila in return for their service, and after the defeat could have followed Gundioc back to Sapaudia.
My reasoning for this is because if you had two separate groupings of Burgundians combining, many conflicting cases could have occurred and it would explain why all cases prior to the Battle of Chalons suddenly became obsolete.
