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.

“That men do not learn very much from the lessons of history is the most important of all the lessons that history has to teach.”
