Mary of Burgundy & Margaret of York - Duchesses of Burgundy, European Powerbrokers

Mary of Burgundy was the ruling Duchesses of a vast territory, but when she came into her inheritance she faced invasions and rebellions. Luckily for her, she had a smart and sensible negotiator by her side - her stepmother, Margaret of York. These two women were able to stabilise a fractious territory and left a European legacy that lasted for centuries.
