Burgundian War

The Burgundian Wars were a series of conflicts in the late 15th century involving the Duchy of Burgundy and its rivals, primarily the Swiss Confederation and France. A significant event was the Battle of Morat on June 22, 1476, where the Swiss decisively defeated the Burgundian army led by Charles the Bold. This victory was a major turning point in the war, contributing to Burgundy's decline. The conflict was part of a larger struggle for power in Europe, with figures like the Holy Roman Emperor Frederick III and French King Louis XI opposing Charles the Bold. The Burgundian dukes, originating from the French royal house, had expanded their influence in the Low Countries, creating a powerful state that eventually clashed with its neighbors.123
