Wiki: Charles the Bold
He was the last Valois Duke of Burgundy.
His early death at Nancy, at the hands of the Swiss fighting for the Duke of Lorraine, was of great consequence in European history:
The Burgundian domains, long wedged between the growing powers France and the Habsburgs, were divided, but as neither side was satisfied with the results, and the disintegration of the Burgundian state, and the question of the boundary between the French and German spheres of political influence, was a factor in most major wars in Western Europe for the following two centuries and beyond.
