520 _a"Charles the Bold, Last Duke of Burgundy, 1433-1477" by Ruth Putnam is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work chronicles the life and reign of Charles the Bold, the last Duke of Burgundy, focusing on his ambitions, accomplishments, and failures in the context of the political landscape of 15th century Europe. The book explores not only Charles's individual character and life events but also the profound impact he had on the territories of Burgundy, France, and the Holy Roman Empire. The opening of the book sets the stage for Charles's narrative by describing the atmosphere of his birthplace, Dijon, during significant moments in Burgundian court life, highlighting his father's reign and the social intricacies of the time. It introduces the reader to the circumstances surrounding his birth, notably his father Philip the Good's celebration of the Order of the Golden Fleece, as well as the expectations placed on Charles as the duke's sole legitimate heir. The text carries an insightful analysis of Philip's impact on his son's upbringing, the political alliances formed through marriage, and the children's early experiences that would shape their futures in a tumultuous era marked by ambition and rivalry.
