	War, just
		War was a judicial action in which the people fighting were, in one way or another, righting a wrong.
		The warring parties even tried to recast their actions as a crusade, so that they could be morally certain of waging a proper war.
		During most of the Medieval period, war between the international nobility was insulated from the brutalising effects of total war.

	Burgundian Wars - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Open war broke out in 1474, and in the following years, the Duke of Burgundy, Charles the Bold, was defeated thrice on the battlefield and killed in the Battle of Nancy.
		The Duchy of Burgundy and several other Burgundian lands then became part of France, while the Burgundian lands in the Netherlands and the Franche Comté were inherited by Charles's daughter, and eventually passed to the House of Habsburg.
		The Franche-Comté initially also became French, but was ceded to Maximilian's son Philip in 1493 by the French king Charles VIII in the treaty of Senlis, in an attempt to bribe the Emperor to remain neutral during Charles's planned invasion of Italy.

	myArmoury.com: The Burgundian Army of Charles the Bold
		They were the first army to be placed on a largely regular footing, contained numbers of specialist mercenaries, made large-scale use of both artillery and hand firearms, and Charles' military Ordinances, demanding strict discipline and, another innovation, regular drilling and exercising of the troops, became the basis for those of many 16th Century armies.
		Burgundian feudal levies still remained, and Charles hired various mercenaries: apart from the English longbows mentioned, there were French men-at-arms, German hand-gunners, and large numbers of Italians (including Savoyards—Savoy being at first an ally and later almost a satellite of Burgundy).
		As might be expected in this early period, figures for the overall strength of the Burgundian army are rather conflicting, but shortly before the disastrous defeat of Morat, 1476, his army consisted of: 1,741 men-at-arms (including 500 of the Household); 4,062 mounted archers (including 1,377 English; probably also mounted crossbowmen); and 4,445 infantry: 10,248 total.

	Burgundians
		Burgundians sought their place in history through military alliances.
		But later in 554 AD, the Burgundians were attacked by the Franks, their former allies, and their kingdom was annexed.
		The greatest of the Burgundian kings was Gundobad, who reigned from 473 to 517 AD, his greatest contribution being Burgundian law.

	Military History Online - Nomonhan: The Second Russo-Japanese War
		In 1921, at the close of the Russian Civil War, the Bolsheviks had swept into the broad desert lands of Mongolia and established a revolutionary government.
		In the event of a second Russo-Japanese War the IJA high command had envisioned an offensive strategy, with a push west across the Khingan Mountains into that portion of Siberia north of the Mongolian border.
		A major hero of the war on the Japanese side was Lt. Sadakaji, who attacked a Soviet tank with his sword.

	Battle of Granson (2 March 1476)
		The roots of the wars lie in the unquenchable desires of Charles the Bold (or Rash), Duke of Burgundy, for glory, riches, empire, and kingship.
		The Burgundian Ordonnance army is one of the finest amalgamations of mercenary professional troops in the 15th Century.
		In fact, one could argue that the Burgundian army was the first to truly use "field" artillery in battle with its light and medium bombards fitted on wheeled carriages.

	War and Government in the French Provinces - Cambridge University Press (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
		Few studies of the history of provincial France have hitherto spanned the conventional medieval/early-modern divide, and David Potter's detailed examination of war and government in Picardy, a region of France hitherto neglected by historians, has much to say about the development of French absolutism.
		Picardy emerged as a province after the campaigns of 1470-1477, and its experience of the first period of absolutism provides an enlightening contrast with that of other, more outlying provinces: the Picard nobility was notable for the extent of its participation in the army, the court and the government of France.
		David Potter provides a detailed analysis of the organisation of French military power in the province, and its impact during the period of the Habsburg-Valois wars.

	Ulrich Biography
		Ulrich made his entry into public affairs in the early 1460's and gathered the various offices and honors that are available to a talented and ambitious man. He demonstrated fine qualities as field commander of the St. Gallen troops in the Burgundian wars.
		In the battle of Grandson in 1476 he and his troops were part of the advance units of the Confederation and took part in their famous attack.
		On the other hand the matter increased the alienation between Switzerland and the German Empire, which would eventually mean a total separation as a result of the Swabian War.

	Burgundian
		The second Burgundian kingdom was a loyal ally of the Romans, joining another usurper Emperor Avitus against the Suevi of Spain in 456 AD.
		With Theodoric now ruling Italy, the Burgundians and their expansionary neighbours the Franks were drawn into a complex series of marriage alliances with the Ostrogoths.
		One of his sons, Godomar, survived to rule what was left of the Burgundian kingdom but in 534 AD the Franks invaded for the last time, Godomar was defeated and the Burgundians were absorbed into the Frankish kingdom, later to form the semi-independent territory of Burgundy.

	Great Burgundian Chronicle by Diebold Schilling of Bern
		The Great Burgundian Chronicle, also called the Zürcher Schilling after the city where it is kept, is the most original and comprehensive reference book on the Burgundian Wars.
		The narrative manner in which the artist represents the entire history of the Burgundian Wars, is particularly charming.
		In general, the decoration of the Burgundian Chronicle displays an extraordinary charm, partly due to the naive realism of its illustrations, partly to the light-hearted glorification of heroes and events.

	Bibliography for the Hundred Years' War
		Interesting study of a war between half-brothers [sons of the Merovingian king Chlotar I] Gundovald and Guntram (who ruled the Burgundian regnum in Gaul).
		The study is an interesting examination of the technical procedures and arguments that surrounded this significant treaty, which effectively released (in the near-term) Charles VII from having to continue the civil war with his Valois cousin in Burgundy.
		The editor's introduction ["War and Change in Late Medieval France and England"] addresses the sometimes confusing and debated labeling of the HYW, as well an an overview of basic political, economic, and social aspects that impacted the war.

		These troops were originally created by the "father of the Landsknecht," Maximilian I, to uphold his claim to the Burgundian Legacy of the Netherlands.
		The face of war was changing dramatically, the Burgundian Wars (1476-7) had shown that Cavalry was virtually useless against any well trained pike formations, and the new handguns.
		Just imagine the logistics of moving the thousands of mercenaries, their gear, all of the camp followers and other laborers, all of the supplies and equipment necessary for the fighting force to wage war.
