Mary the Rich, Duchess of Burgundy had two sons (Philip the Fair, and a boy named Franz (who died young)) and a daughter, Margarethe (bride-queen of France, princess of the Asturias, duchess of Savoy) before she herself died because she fell from a horse.

What would've happened if Franz had survived and produced children? Would Burgundy be retained as a separate entity from the Holy Roman Empire? Or would he just be a minor Habsburg archduke fobbed off with Tyrol or some other hereditary possession (not Burgundy)?
