Abstract
Charles the Bold (1433–77), Charles I, Duke of Burgundy, was the son of Duke Philip III “The Good” (1396–1467). He tried to make himself independent of feudal subjugation to the king of France, Louis XI (1423–83), and to create a kingdom of Burgundy in central Europe, between the Holy Roman Empire and the kingdom of France. When his favorite diplomatic agent, Philippe de Commines, left him and went into the service of the king of France, Louis XI, Charles began to make military and diplomatic errors. His death at the battle of Nancy (1477) ended an epoch of European history.
