IV/76 EARLY BURGUNDIAN 1363 AD - 1471 AD

This list covers Burgundian armies for the period before the innovations of Charles the Bold had taken full effect. The Dukes of Burgundy owed allegiance to the King of France and the Emperor but were rich and behaved as if independent. Their territories consisted of the Duchy of Burgundy on the upper Rhine, the County of Burgundy opposite it on the Imperial bank and a gradually acquired separated and sometimes rebellious northern block eventually including Flanders, the Netherlands and Luxemburg. Its rulers during this period were Dukes Philip the Bold 1363-1404, John the Fearless 1404- 1419 (assassinated by the French), Philip the Good 1419-1467 and the warlike but militarily inept Charles the Bold 1467-1477. Unsurprisingly, it was usually allied to the English from 1420 and learned to fight in English style. Reference: Armies of the Middle Ages Vol 11. Heath.
