Burgundy
The Duchy of Burgundy was a French appanage ruled from Dijon. In 1337 Duke Odo IV belonged to the Capetian ducal house.
Philip I died without male heirs in 1361, and in 1363 John II granted the duchy to his son Philip the Bold. Philip’s marriage to Margaret III, Countess of Flanders, helped build the Valois-Burgundy state. Charles the Bold fell at Nancy in 1477; Louis XI absorbed the duchy, while Charles’s daughter Mary and her Habsburg descendants inherited his Low Country lands.
