Charles the Bold has a son

As it says on the tin, what consequences might arise if Charles the Bold has a son by his wife Margaret of York? Say the child is born in 1470, what consequences might this bring for events within Burgundy, France, England? And what might become of Mary, Charles' daughter in this timeline? And what of the Habsburgs, would they still come to prominence globally if there is no Burgundian inheritance?

There is a high probability Louis the Spider would still sue Charles post-mortem for lese-majeste. In this case French estates of the House of Valois-Bourgogne might be annexed to the Royal Demesne, unless the kid (we'll call him Philippe) voluntarily pays allegiance.

Even if he does, can Louis really accept the risk of a vassal with such extensive domains outside France proper?

Interesting, and say Charles lives longer than otl, to see his son grow, what then?
