Valois-Burgundy

The Valois-Burgundy refers to a branch of the Capetian Dynasty that emerged in the 14th and 15th centuries. The House of Valois, a royal family in France, had a powerful offshoot known as the Dukes of Burgundy, who became significant political players in Europe. The marriage alliances and territorial ambitions of the Valois-Burgundy strengthened their influence, leading to control over vast lands in France and the Low Countries. Their prominence contributed to the complexities of the Hundred Years' War and set the stage for future conflicts and developments in French and European history.
