		Charles was a warm advocate of Scandinavianism and the political solidarity of the three northern kingdoms, and his warm friendship for Frederick VII., it is said, led him to give half promises of help to Denmark on the eve of the war of 1864, which, in the circumstances, were perhaps misleading and unjustifiable.
		CHARLES, called THE BOLD (14331477), duke of Burgundy, son of Philip the Good of Burgundy and Isabella of Portugal, was born at Dijon on the 10th of November 1433.
		The original authorities for the life and times of Charles the Bold are the numerous French, Burgundian and Flemish chroniclers of the latter part of the I 5th century.

	Burgundy Wars (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-19)
		Charles' involvement west of the Rhine gave him no reason to attack the confederates as Sigismund had wanted, but his embargo politics against the cities of Basel, Strasbourg, and Mulhouse, directed by his reeve Peter von Hagenbach, prompted these to turn to Berne for help.
		Charles' expansionist strategy suffered a first setback in his politics when his attack on the Archbishopric of Cologne failed after the unsuccessful Siege of Neuss (1473 – 1474).
		Charles the Bold fell in the Battle of Nancy in 1477, where the confederates fought alongside an army of René II, Duke of Lorraine.

	Lost Burgundy - The Battle of Nancy
		Despite the harsh winter conditions Charles was determined to bring the siege to an end at all costs as he was well aware that sooner or later Rene would arrive with a relieving army once the weather had improved somewhat.
		Charles finally learnt that Rene's army was indeed close by and drew up the bulk of his army in a strong defensive position south of Nancy on a heavily wooded slope behind a stream at the narrowest part of the valley he knew the Swiss would have to advance down.
		Charles as usual deployed his troops to a precise battle plan despite the short notice he received of the approach of Rene's forces.

		Charles the Bold, the warlike last Duke of a powerful independent Burgundy, was the chief military innovator of the late 15th Century.
		Alas for Charles; with all his genius for organisation and military zeal, his career as general, once he came up against the Swiss, was one of unbroken disaster, contributed to both by his own rashness, and by a certain lack of enthusiasm and cohesion in his multi-lingual army.
		Charles' misfortune is, in a sense, our gain, however, for the victorious Swiss captured, and have largely preserved or recorded, an extraordinary mass of booty which constitutes a unique body of military evidence from this period.

	Ordinances
		In 1467, after the Liege campaign, Charles the Bold asked his captains if any of their men would be willing to continue their service beyond the normal time, in order to assure the occupation of the principality.
		In April Charles announced his intention of mustering 1,250 lances; and any men-at-arms, archers or others wishing to serve in his ordonnance, as it was called, were to gather around Arras in Artois on 15 May, with their weapons and equipment.
		On 29 June Charles went down to Dijon and announced that any men-at-arms, archers, crossbowmen, handgunners or pikemen in the two Burgundies wishing to serve should muster on 2 August, armed and equipped in accordance with 'an ordinance soon to be proclaimed'.

		Olivier de la Marche, whom Charles chose to be the commander of the first new company of the ordinance, had served previously as the commander of the military household.
		Similarly, although Paravicini is correct that a large proportion of the soldiers under Charles' command during the last years of his rule (1475-1477) were mercenaries, including those enrolled in the companies of the ordinance, it is not correct to say either that this was unprecedented or that Charles' armies were composed exclusively of mercenaries.
		Finally, Vaughan's argument that the real revolution begun by Charles was the transformation of the Burgundian military from a haphazard polyglot force to a standing army of mercenaries misrepresents both the military organization inherited by Charles and the new military formations he tried to create.
