Despite his victories, his untimely death at the Battle of Nancy had far-reaching consequences, leading to the division of the Burgundian domains and a centuries-long dispute over its territorial possessions. Through Putnam's expert storytelling, readers gain a deeper understanding of Charles's complex character and the impact of his actions on European history.
