Family history Baron de Burgund

Baron of Burgund

The project title „Baron de Burgund“ does not refer to a proven Burgundian baronage, but to one of the most glorious ducal dynasties of the late Middle Ages: the House of Valois-Burgundy. Its history began in 1363, when the French King John II transferred the Duchy of Burgundy to his youngest son Philip the Handsome. Through Philip’s marriage to Margaret of Flanders, Flanders, Artois and the Free County of Burgundy were added in 1384. This transformed the ducal court in Dijon into a far-reaching dominion between France and the Netherlands.

Philipps Sohn Johann Ohnefurcht übernahm 1404. Er mischte sich energisch in die französische Politik ein und geriet während des Hundertjährigen Krieges in den Konflikt zwischen Burgundern und Armagnaken. Seine Ermordung 1419 an der Brücke von Montereau machte seinen Sohn Philipp den Guten zum neuen Herzog. Dieser verband diplomatisches Geschick mit Sinn für Pracht: Er gewann Brabant, Holland, Zeeland, Hennegau und Luxemburg hinzu, gründete 1430 den Orden vom Goldenen Vlies und machte seinen Hof zu einem europäischen Mittelpunkt für Malerei, Musik und feierliches Zeremoniell.

1467 folgte Karl der Kühne. Sein ehrgeiziger Plan war ein geschlossenes Reich zwischen Frankreich und dem Heiligen Römischen Reich. Nach wechselvollen Feldzügen fiel er 1477 bei Nancy. Seine Tochter Maria von Burgund bewahrte den bedeutenden niederländischen Besitz und heiratete Maximilian von Habsburg. Während das eigentliche Herzogtum Burgund an die französische Krone zurückkehrte, gelangten große Teile des burgundischen Erbes an die Habsburger.

So endete die politische Linie der Valois-Herzöge nicht leise, sondern verwandelte sich in ein europäisches Vermächtnis. Die prachtvollen Grabmäler in Dijon, der Orden vom Goldenen Vlies und die Kunst ihrer Hofstädte erzählen bis heute von einer Familie, die Macht, Stil und kulturelle Neugier eindrucksvoll verband.
