Battle of Nancy



Despite the disasters of 1476 Charles the Bold, Duke of Burgundy, remained confident that 1477 would bring an upturn in the fortunes of his beloved Burgundy. From the accounts of the siege of Nancy it is obvious that not all his followers shared such optimism, as it is recorded that one Burgundian noble was hanged for treason after suggesting that the Duke should be loaded into a bombard and fired into Nancy.
