LibriVox recording of Charles the Bold, Last Duke of Burgundy by Ruth Putnam. Read in English by LibriVox volunteers. Charles the Bold was the last Duke of Burgundy of the House of Valois. Born in 1433, his dream was to be crowned king by declaring the territory of Burgundy an independent kingdom. He increased his land through purchase and conquest, leading to serious unrest throughout western Europe. His enmity with Rene II of Lorraine led to his early death in 1477.
