{{short description|Gallic tribe}}{{distinguish|Aedi}}
The '''Aedui or''' '''Haedui''' ([[Gaulish language|Gaulish]]: "the Ardent"; {{lang-grc|Aἴδουοι}}) were a [[Gauls|Gallic]] tribe dwelling in the modern [[Burgundy]] region during the [[La Tène culture|
The Aedui had an ambiguous relationship with the [[Roman Republic]] and other Gallic tribes. In 121 BC, they appealed to Rome against the [[Arverni]] and [[Allobroges]]. During the [[Gallic Wars]] (58–50 BC), they gave valuable though not whole-hearted support to [[Caesar]], before eventually giving lukewarm support to [[Vercingetorix]] in 52. Although they were involved in the revolts of [[Julius Sacrovir|Iulius Sacrovir]] in 21 AD and [[Gaius Julius Vindex|Vindex]] in 68 AD, their aristocracy became highly Romanized under the empire.{{Sfn|Drinkwater|2016|p=}}
