Why was the Duchy of Burgundy divided between the Holy Roman Empire (Austria), and the French Kingdom?
When did the division of the Duchy of Burgundy happen?
The division of the Duchy of Burgundy took place in the year 1477 after the death of Charles the Bold, who was the Duke of Burgundy at that time. As he didn't have any male heir, his daughter Mary of Burgundy inherited the title, and she married Maximilian of Austria (who later became Holy Roman Emperor), leading to the division of the Duchy of Burgundy between the Holy Roman Empire and the French Kingdom.
