What if Charles the Bold has a posthumous son with Margaret of York

To sum up, if Charles the Bold have a posthumous son with Margaret of York, it means that Mary of Burgundy doesn't inherit. France still get the Duchy, because let's face it, Louis XI would find a way to ensure that the Burgundian heartland remains under direct French control. As for the Burgundian territories not an appange of France however, that son still inherits it.

No Burgundian succession means Austria doesn't get the wealth acquired through the Flemish trading cities. Who knows what other butterflies may occur out of this?
 
The young duke of Burgundy would by one point also be the most serious Yorkist claimant to the English throne, since let's face it he has the deepest pockets of all the Yorkist claimants. Anyway France and England getting close in this scenario is likely, so he needs an Imperial or Iberian match to counter this.

I think a marriage between Elizabeth of York and Charles VIII is likely to happen in this scenario.
