Trivia
The last Duke of Burgundy was Charles de Valois, otherwise known as Charles "The Rash" or "The Bold" or "The Terrible. The 44-year-old Duke was killed in the Swiss War in 1477, and France annexed Burgundy. Burgundy's holdings outside of France passed to Charles' daughter Marie, and her marriage to an Archduke of Austria (who later became Maximilian I, Holy Roman Emperor) saw the Burgundian inheritance pass to the Habsburg dynasty.
