Godegisel was a Burgundian sub-king and son of the Burgundian king Gondioc. From 480 onwards, he ruled Burgundy as co-king with Gundobad. Godegisel appears to have had his seat of power in Geneva. After a failed attempt to have Gundobad assassinated, he was forced to retreat to Vienne, where he was eliminated by Gundobad and replaced by Gundobad's son Sigismund.
