History UsefulNotes / CharlesDukeOfBurgundy

After all the struggle with France, Charles got into conflict with smaller states to the east as well, and ended up facing a coalition of Lorraine, Alsatian and Austrian forces (all of these part of the UsefulNotes/HolyRomanEmpire) and UsefulNotes/{{Swi|tzerland}}ss mercenaries, led by Duke of Lorraine René II and partly financed by Louis XI. That coalition defeated Charles at Grandson and Morat (he lost a lot of booty and a big part of his army) then at the final and decisive battle of the Burgundian Wars, the battle of Nancy, in 1477, in which he was killed (his corpse was reportedly found naked with half of his face eaten by wolves). His daughter Mary succeeded him.
