Ok here's My idea: What if the Burgundian Valois managed to survive by not pissing everyone off?
This would mean that they would have to settle for a divided territory and play by the HRE's rules at least at first maybe they can avoid going all gavelkind like the Wettins though.
They would Also have to give up their ambitions to rule France perhaps even losing some of the inner burgundian lands in the process.
Ideally I'm thinking they would be able to control what in our timeline became the Burgundian circle at a basic level as their short term goal while being friendly with the Von Hapsburgs at least in the short term.
In the long term they would try to connect their territory at a generational pace.
What I'm hoping for personally is for them to survive and thrive to the point where they are able to become an actual nation state that unites the lowlands and the rhineland.
If that ends up being to absurd an earlier united benelux would be a fine consolation prize.
