Burgundian Succession, War of the

Years: 1477 - 1493

The War of the Burgundian Succession takes place from 1477 to 1482, immediately following the Burgundian Wars.

At stake is the partition of the Burgundian hereditary lands between the Kingdom of France and the House of Habsburg, after Duke Charles the Bold had perished in the Battle of Nancy on January 5 1477.

"History never repeats itself, but the Kaleidoscopic combinations of the pictured present often seem to be constructed out of the broken fragments of antique legends."

― Mark Twain, The Gilded Age (1874)
