Tomb of Mary, Duchess of Burgundy (1457-1482) at the Church of Our Lady in Bruges, Belgium


Mary (13 February 1457 - 27 March 1482), Duchess of Burgundy, reigned over the Low Countries from 1477 until her death. As the only child of Charles the Bold and his wife Isabella of Bourbon, she was the heiress to the vast, and vastly wealthy, Burgundian domains in France and the Low Countries upon her father's death in the Battle of Nancy on 5 January 1477, and was accordingly often referred to as Mary the Rich.
