He wanted a kingdom between France and Germany, and he very nearly built one. Charles the Bold ran Burgundy as the richest state in Europe and lost the whole thing in three battles against Swiss pikemen who had nothing but discipline and high ground. Putnam follows the last duke, whose ambition was too large by exactly one generation.
