Mary of Brittany was a woman similar to Eleanor of Aquitaine, so rich in lands and too picky on land but she chose Francis II of Brittany.

Interesting although IMHO the Habsburg Hausmacht (the hereditary lands of the house of Habsburg) and the empire are more useful against France than just the duchy of Brittany (and the possibility to fulfill the ambition of her father and help her spouse to win the imperial election and become his queen-consort (and later empress consort)).
Even a French marriage (not my personal favorite ;)) would be more useful. However let's see how things turn out. :)

Yep, but I am making the Montforts successful in Spain as the Habsburgs are in OTL, their allies are the Yorkists in England that is why Henry Tudor is executed on this timeline..
 
I came of this timeline while researching about making a revision of my almost ASB timeline about the Philippines..the revision is incorporated in this timeline..

Rule Bretaña!

King Louis XI visited Brittany after hearing the news of Mary of Burgundy being married to Francis II of Brittany, Louis XI saw Mary of Burgundy, a fair woman and very pretty and wealthy married to a handsome man, Francis II of Brittany and now that Mary of Burgundy is pregnant with a son.

Francis II of Brittany felt so lucky and he feels so powerful and uses his new connections in his own political gains and he decided that Henry Tudor should be extradited and executed because of their allegiance with the House of York in England.

The survival of the Montforts in Brittany
Francis II of Brittany considered marrying Mary of Burgundy but he was discouraged by the King of France, Louis XI from marrying her but he decided to court Mary of Burgundy and ally with Charles the Bold which he thinks he needed, he needed an ally which is Burgundy, Mary of Burgundy decided to marry Francis II of Brittany after the courtship of Francis of Brittany and Francis II of Brittany and Mary of Burgundy were married in 1473, a son named Philip was born in September 6, 1474 and Anne of Brittany on June 16 1480.
The marriage of Mary of Burgundy and Francis II of Brittany was believed as a marriage that binds two duchies in France together and made France easier to tear apart King Charles VII believed that the marriage was a second Plantagenet problem like the one they encountered in England and he believed that the marriage was a threat.
Because of this new marriage, Henry Tudor became a hated person in Brittany and Burgundy and later made the most wanted person in Brittany because of their Yorkist allegiance which makes them hostile against the Lancastrians.
Louis XI had Catherine of Foix marry Charles VIII in 1483 after the death of Francis Phoebus in order for Foix and Navarre to be merged with the French crown in order and also to prevent the marriage between the Navarresse heiress and a Montfort who own a large estate in France, Louis and Catherine of Foix immediately had a son after they got married his name is Francis Phoebus, he was born in June 5, 1484, in 1490 Charles VII becomes the King of France and a daughter was born to Charles VIII in November 6, 1490 named Marie a year after the birth of Marie, Catherine of Foix died.
Philip of Burgundy and Brittany married Isabella of Asturias and Anne of Brittany married Juan of Asturias in 1490 as a part of Burgundy-Castille alliance.
Mary of Burgundy and Francis II of Brittany both enjoyed a very long life and avoided wars, they were known to be a kind couple and Mary of Burgundy was very happy with Francis II of Brittany.

I forgot to say that I like Burgundy, Flanders and Provence not being part of France in any TL I created either Independent or not Independent.
