Marie de Bourgogne

The great dream of the dukes of Burgundy breaks down in 1477 when Charles the Bold is defeated and dies before the walls of Nancy. The Burgundian estate passes to a young girl, who is not twenty years old, Marie, and Louis XI, underestimating the strength of character of his goddaughter, believes he has the capability to retake the regions North of the Somme.He becomes disillusioned because Marie of Burgundy will succeed in thwarting his intrigues and the plots, disarming the oppositions and reconquering the love of her subjects. She marries Maximilien of Austria, limiting the shrinking of her lands.The work ends with Marie's untimely, and tragic death.
