Through the marriage of Duke Philip the Bold of Burgundy with Margaret of Flanders , their son, Johann Ohnefurcht, became heir not only of the Duchy of Burgundy, but also of Flanders, Artois, Brabants and Limburg as well as Franche-Comté - Free County of Burgundy. The House of Burgundy thus ruled large parts of north-east France.
