I admire Mary of Burgundy.She had guts.She was the daughter of Charles the Bold who was considered a great prince.But at the same time I pity her.Those dreadful people were ruthless.I guess the conflict between France and Burgundy never ceased, It had been going on for quite a long time and we can see it here plainly. I know the Portuguese royal family always sided and supported Burgundy because Isabel of Avis , Charles the Bold ´s mother was Portuguese.

[@Lily1127channel]

Yeah the conflict was kinda endless in this century between them. It is also notable that it was Burgundy who captured Jeanne d'Arc (they were England's ally against France in the 100 years war) and gave her to the English to kill her.

He came to the Iberian peninsula to take part in the reconquest ( reconquista cristã) and married one of Alphonso VI of Leon´s daughters , Teresa Countess of Portugal.

[@Kolya_Volkov]

When Charles the Bold died in 1477 his possessions naturally passed to his only child Mary of Burgundy. Her precarious position was definitely used against her to restore provincial privileges with the Great Privilege but her position as legal heir to Charles’s dominion was never questioned. As far as gender goes it does seem like female rulers had to cope with more forceful councils as the Great Privilege above shows. Women could inherit feudal lands in their own right but not always with the same political authority as their male counterparts. At any rate it wasn’t oppression but it wasn’t always true equality either

From Wiki: In 1482, a falcon hunt in the woods near Wijnendale Castle was organised by Adolph of Cleves, Lord of Ravenstein, who lived in the castle. Mary loved riding and was hunting with Maximilian and knights of the court when her horse tripped, threw her in a ditch, and then landed on top of her, breaking her back. She died several weeks later on 27 March from internal injuries, having made a detailed will. She was buried in the Church of Our Lady in Bruges on 3 April 1482. She was pregnant.

[@nationalsocialism3504]

She marries Maximilian Habsburg (the future Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire)... in the show that guy is executed for his part in an assassination attempt against Maximilian & the rest of the Burghers who composed the States General were forced to pay for equipping mercenaries to fight France. In history this didn't happen... the States General didn't really cause this level of problem for Mary but later after her death when Maximilian was forced to give up his regency over their son Philip being forced to return to Austria.

It's actually the opposite. Many executioners had to get themselves drunk before the execution so that they wouldn't feel bad and hesitate. This could also be bad for the person being executed because it could mean the executioner misses the neck and just maims the person. Also in this case the executioner was part of a group that had a personal dispute with the people being executed so I think he was happy to do it.

And then You see ppl in Netherlands saying that Hapsburg Phillip II was 'evil'. Before of that, Flanders was vassal of France. Lol.

[@Lily1127channel]

Yes they were the vassals of France, not because they wanted but because the House of Burgundy captured the territory and the Duke of Burgundy was historically a vassal of France. But they just wanted their independence and didn't like the House of Burgundy much. Here, France promised more independence for them.

[@Dryadkal]

I am Dutch, we got the whole Phillip II covered in our history classes for years. I think it is a misconception that the Netherlands didnt like Carlos V, as some dutchies think, but the problem with Philip II his son was, I think, an increase in taxes, centralised statereform which did not go down well with the independant provinces and cities, and the Duke of Alba/Alva, or the iron duke, who tortured and massacred protestants to oblivion. The dutch Catholics even pleaded with the governess of NL to show mercy towards the protestant brethren.. the iron duke of alba tortured and massacred dutch people, man women and children. He was not Philip but was sent by him. Make of it what you will

[@Haunterspirit]

The attitude towards Philip II is changing a bit from 'evil' to 'incompetent'. That fact that he strangled the Dutch trade while at the same time raising taxes doesn't say much for his common sense. In any case, the two countries were just too different. If the Netherlands had been grouped with the Holy Roman Empire, it might have worked, but with Spain was a bad idea from the start.

It was a real pleasure to see their heads roll, but the leg breaking was a bit redundant tbh

[@TD_JR]

Ya, tell that to those who were drawn and quartered. The pain, the humiliation, and the torture are part of the whole package. Breaking his knees was a message to those who bent those knees to their enemies. Public execution was about punishing the convicted as much as it was sending a message to those in attendance.

[@aardque]

@@TD_JR to be clear, this is a justice system a step or two above savagery. Like all social contrivances, it ignores the motivations for transgresion. The messages sent about breaking knees, incite rebellion as easily as submission and it's the main reason why "demonstrative punishment," has given way to "demonstrative justice," in most modern societies. Looking at Iran, recently in moral hot water for its policy of demonstrative punishments, we can easily see why. Therefore, the observation that it is over the top is likely made from that understanding.

@@TD_JR what kind of a lying snake are you? The question most definitely was, "do you enjoy beheadings." The ONLY human answer is "No." You made the clear statement, "It was a pleasure to see the beheadings." When you were given a chance to _retract_ the message, or to explain _why_ you found pleasure in a depiction of gruesome death, you provided an unsolicited history lesson. The overriding message everyone sees, is that you enjoy depictions of gruesome death and you want to share your enjoyment with others, despite the fact you are ashamed of it.

I hate this practice of dubbing everything to add german speach. It ruins the material.

Well it comes from the nature of this particular production itself. It is a German-Austrian-French coproduction. Some actors are Germanor Austrian and they speak in German, so that is not dubbed. Some are French, like the main actress, and they speak in French, and they are dubbed to German. On French tv it aired with French actors's original voices and the German actors dubbed to French. To see it without any dubbing, with the actors' original voices only, would be a bit weird because Maximilian would speak to Mary in German and Mary would answer in French without any problem.

Also the Flemish characters people didn't speak any Dutch or Flemish to each other in that version, just some in German, some in French, which was also weird to me (it was because the actors were either German or French).
