The book is devoted to the history of the development of the Burgundian state of the XIV-XV centuries, mainly to military aspects, when the power in Burgundy belonged to the dukes from the French royal dynasty of Valois. The first volume deals with the period of Philip II the Brave and Jean the Fearless, and the second - Philip III the Good. With the involvement of archival documents and the widest source base, as well as the latest special studies, the book largely reinterprets the largest battles of the Hundred Years War (Poitiers, Agincourt, Cravan, Verneuil, the siege of Orleans, the siege of Compiègne, etc.), the results of peaceful negotiations and other political actions. Much attention is paid to the dynastic conflict between the Armagnacs and the Bourguignons. A broad retrospective of the military-political conflicts that shook both the external borders of Burgundy and its internal foundations is given - the Flemish War, the crusade to Bulgaria, the wars with the Principality of Liege, the Dutch war between "cod" and "hooks", the conquest of Luxembourg, uprisings in Bruges and Ghent… The biographies of many famous and almost forgotten heroes, generals, politicians, priests, valiant knights, ordinary soldiers and townsfolk, men and women are traced. From their destinies, as from bricks, the powerful Burgundian state was erected, which almost brought France to its knees.
