List of territories of the Valois dukes of Burgundy

Valois Burgundy at its greatest extent under Charles the Bold

From 1363 to 1477, the Valois dukes of Burgundy, a cadet branch of the French royal House of Valois, ruled over a domain that ultimately encompassed much of eastern France and the Low Countries[1] effectively as independent princes.[2] Although sometimes referred to as the Burgundian state,[3] it was in fact a composite monarchy,[4] comprising an array of duchies, counties and lordships acquired by the dukes over time by a number of means and joined in personal union.[5] The Duchy of Burgundy itself was granted to the dynasty's founder Philip the Bold in 1363 by his father the French king, John II. The dynasty's domains were then substantially added to, mainly by Philip himself and his grandson, Philip the Good.

Philip the Bold married Margaret of Flanders, and when her father died in 1384, he acquired through her inheritance not only the adjacent County of Burgundy and other lands in eastern France, but also Flanders in the Low Countries, with its concentration of wealthy urban areas. The next period of major expansion was in the 1420s and 1430s when Philip the Good added further extensive domains by purchase, diplomacy and inheritance. These were in eastern and north eastern France, but more significantly, in the Low Countries as well. The Brabantine inheritance of 1430 and the cession of Jacqueline of Hainaut's lands in 1433, when added to Flanders, meant that Philip's territories would include a powerful contiguous domain covering most of the Low Countries and referred to as the Burgundian Netherlands.

Finally, the last Valois duke, Charles the Bold, through almost continuous warfare after his accession in 1467, briefly extended the domains further but was killed in battle in 1477 without a male heir, the last of the dynasty being his daughter Mary of Burgundy. The Duchy of Burgundy itself was then absorbed back into France and most of the remaining territories, as a result of Mary's marriage to Maximilian of Habsburg, passed to the House of Habsburg, forming part of a much larger empire.[5]

Territories of the Valois dukes of Burgundy

The dukes' lands straddled the border areas between the Kingdom of France and the Holy Roman Empire and were divided into two groups of possessions.[5] In the south was the Duchy of Burgundy itself, and the neighbouring County of Burgundy (the modern Franche-Comté), a fief of the Empire. These possessions were separated from the Burgundian Netherlands in the north, where the dukes derived most of their wealth, power and prestige.[note 1] Charles the Bold briefly united the southern and northern domains through conquest but these gains were lost with his death in 1477.[8]

The following is a list of territories held, at any time, by a Valois duke of Burgundy, either in their own right or jure uxoris.[note 2]

Notes

  1. ^ The two groups of domains were referred to as "our lands over here" and "our lands over there", originally from the perspective of where the duke happened to be when the reference was made. However, reflecting the changing focus of the Burgundian state, the Low Countries territories came to be permanently called the "lands over here" and the southern domains the "lands over there".[6] Nevertheless, Burgundy, as the dukes' original domain, continued to be at the heart of the polity's identity and, for example, the duke's subjects in the Low Countries even began referring to themselves as "Burgundians".[7]
  2. ^ Not included are territories held by other members of the House of Valois-Burgundy, such as the Prince-Bishopric of Cambrai where Philip the Good had his half-brother, John, appointed as bishop [9] or the County of Eu which a descendant of Philip the Bold, John of Nevers, inherited through his mother.[10] Also excluded are territories where the duke of Burgundy effectively exercised political control but was not the ruler, such as the Prince-Bishopric of Liège or the Prince-Bishopric of Utrecht.[11]
  3. ^ In fact, the margraviate of Antwerp first came into Burgundian hands when Philip the Bold acquired it as part of Margaret of Flanders' inheritance in 1384.[44] After Philip's death in 1404, Antwerp did not pass to the next duke, John the Fearless, but instead was vested in his younger brother, Anthony who also acquired Brabant.[45] It again became a possession of a duke of Burgundy when Philip the Good inherited the margraviate on the death of Anthony's son, Philip of St. Pol, in 1430.[46]
  4. ^ The Duke of Brabant was also "Duke of Lothier" (that is, of Lower Lorraine[47]). This was a titular honorific only, without any territory attached to it.[48]
  5. ^ The Count of Holland was also "Lord of Friesland". This was a titular lordship only, without political reality, but the title had, nevertheless, been used by the Counts of Holland since the 13th century.[49] In fact, unusually, feudalism did not exist in medieval Friesland[50] and it had no lord (the Frisian freedom).[51] Although the Emperor Maximilian I had attempted to impose Albert of Saxony as imperial lord over the area,[52] it was not until Charles V's annexation in 1524 that the Lordship of Friesland or Frisia was created.[52][53]
  6. ^ The legal rights acquired in the territories were relatively limited. In addition to Sigismund being able to recover the domains on repayment of the loan, much of the lands were already mortgaged with the creditors having significant pre-existing rights.[64] The attempt to enforce full Burgundian control, despite this, led to a rebellion and loss of the territories in 1474.[63]
