The War of the Burgundian Succession^[1] took place from 1477 to 1482^[2] (or 1493 according to some historians^[3]), immediately following the Burgundian Wars. At stake was 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 5 January 1477.
