A personal list of Documents and references of the history of the Dukes of Burgundy, mostly regarding Charles of Burgundy, but also the rest of the family. Will be updated gradually. There are many, many more documents available, but these are the ones I have actually read or at least leafed through. Please do not make publicly available or distribute any documents under 1 without checking with me first, thanks. A lot of French stuff, I’m afraid. It’s not my mother tongue but they were French dudes so…
