Sort of. Her dowry contained pieces of burgundian lands and since Mary died Max had a harder time to fought of the french.

Margaret is not likely to sell her daughter to the french so little Margaret of Burguny is wedding elsewere
It'd push things back because I don't imagine warwicks going to be in France during the 1470sHe's like 5-8 then. What is little Ned supposed to do then?
That changes if Burgundy has a good chance of going Plantagenet.As for not taking military action against France,there's a good reason for that.France was much richer than England and has a much higher population.Over a hundred years of war with France has demonstrated that you can't conquer France with force.You can beat them in a battle or two and even conquer a large part of it,but the French will always be back with even more soldiers,so it's better to just grab the cash and leave.I have always regarded Edward's decision as a wise one.Edward wasen't intersted into backing burgundy much after Charles death anyway. Margarets influence doesn't depend on Max anyway she had Mary. Richard is not getting Mary if Edward IV is not interested into taking military action against france, wich he wasent after Loius bribed him.
This is true would Margaret have more say as the mother of the duke of burgundyThat changes if Burgundy has a good chance of going Plantagenet.As for not taking military action against France,there's a good reason for that.France was much richer than England and has a much higher population.Over a hundred years of war with France has demonstrated that you can't conquer France with force.You can beat them in a battle or two and even conquer a large part of it,but the French will always be back with even more soldiers,so it's better to just grab the cash and leave.I have always regarded Edward's decision as a wise one.
As for Margaret's influence--it will largely depend on the mood of Maximillian,not Mary.Remember this is the late Middle Ages.Maximilian has final say in matters as the husband.
Definitely.This is true would Margaret have more say as the mother of the duke of burgundy
A half Plantagenet duke of burgundy would definitely be interesting. It'd also giveDefinitely.
