Answer

Charles the Bold, the last Valois duke of Burgundy, was the father of Mary of Burgundy. Mary inherited the Burgundian Netherlands and the Free County of Burgundy upon her father's death in 1477. Her marriage to Maximilian I of Habsburg brought the Burgundian territories under Habsburg rule, significantly expanding the Habsburg Empire.
