Mary loved riding and was hunting with Maximilian and knights of the Court when her horse tripped, threw Maximilian in a ditch, and then landed on top of him, breaking his back. Maximilian died several weeks later, on 27 March, from internal injuries, Maximilian would and would leave his infant son Philip as the heir of the Holy Roman Empire and the Burgundian inheritance, however, he would die few months after his own father died leaving Mary of Burgundy with only two of her daughters, this is the beginning of the end of the habsburgs.
