Inheritance vs War

The marriage treaty specified that the heir was entitled to Lower Germany (i.e. Flanders) and Burgundy, as Don Carlos was to have the rest by primogeniture.

Instead of bearing Philip II with heirs, Elizabeth chose to resume Henry VIII's Cleves orientation and shut Spanish Burgundy out of the Netherlands through Leicester taking over for Isabella Clara Eugenia in Holland, leading to Orangist and Hanoverian dynastic geopolitics, but this resulted in Austrian Burgundy again, along with sovereignty technically vested in the Emperors as overlords of England by extension of their Dutch and German holdings, like after the Norman Conquest, when the Angevin Empire was held by homage to France, until the 100 Years' War placed sovereignty in England. 107.77.232.70 (talk) 18:26, 22 November 2022 (UTC)Reply
