Charles the Bold
Charles the Bold or Charles the Rash (French: Charles le Téméraire), also Charles, Duke of Burgundy (21 November 1433 –  5 January 1477) was Duke of Burgundy from 1467 to 1477. Known as Charles the Terrible to his detractors, he was the last Valois Duke of Burgundy and his early death was a pivotal, if under-recognised, moment in European history. After his death, his domains began an inevitable slide towards division between France and the Habsburgs (who through marriage to his heiress Mary of Burgundy became his heirs). Neither side was satisfied with the results and the disintegration of the Burgundian state was a factor in most major wars in Western Europe for over two centuries.
