Alright, so let's assume that Charles, duke of Burgundy and third wife, Margaret of York, manage to have one child, a son in 1470/1471 (Charles? Philippe?); half-sister, Marie still marries Maximilian of Austria (although possibly earlier) simply just to keep butterflies to a minimum. Charles still dies in battle, I feel that it's more a case of "when" not "if" , leaving an underage heir. Margaret is regent, the queen of the Romans is the new duke's sister/heiress presumptive. How do things fare for the young duke? How does France react?

PS: I'm guessing that there's no royal crown involved here, since Friedrich III would be much-more opposed to granting it to Charles, what with a semblance of the grant being more permanent - rather than temporarily granting it to Charles whose only heir was his daughter, married to Friedrich's son.
