Alright time to get absolutely flamed over the protestant reformation. At this point I think it would be quite safe to assume an independent Burgundy would remain nominally catholic and by the end of the counter-reformation fully catholic. The question I have is right now, would the emperor, Habsburg Austria convert to Protestantism against the catholic Burgundians or is that completely out of the question. My logic behind this reformation is that Martin Luther or the reformation in Germany would be targeted against the Rhine ecclesiastical electors who are Burgundian puppets. (Let's not get into calvinism and the other branches of the reformation just yet )
Could a protestant reformation even happen as successfully as in IOTL compared to an independent Burgundy because I can very well see Protestantism acting like the Hussites dying out due to both the Empire and Burgundy forcing Catholicism back into Northern Germany and Scandinavia.
