Burgundian faction

The Burgundian faction refers to a historical political and military alliance in medieval Europe, particularly during the 15th century. It was centered around the Duchy of Burgundy, which included parts of present-day France, Belgium, and the Netherlands. This faction was known for its attempts to establish a powerful and independent state by consolidating territories and influencing neighboring regions, often clashing with the French crown. Key figures included Duke Philip the Good, who expanded Burgundian power through strategic marriages and alliances. The faction played a significant role in the politics of the time, impacting the balance of power in Europe.
