The Golden Age of Burgundy: The Magnificent Dukes and their Courts

Between 1364 and 1477 a dramatic struggle played out between the Duchy of Burgundy and the French kings. This enthralling phase of history was embodied in the lives of four dukes — Philip the Bold, John the Fearless, Philip the Good, and Charles the Rash — who ruled Burgundy at the time and dared challenge the power of France. With sweeping pageantry, here is the history of each duke, his policies, varying successes, and the civilizing values of his glorious sponsorship.
