WI Mary of Burgundy had married Nicholas I, Duke of Lorraine?

According to "infallible" Wikipedia, Charles the Bold offered to Nicholas I, Duke of Lorraine, the hand of his daughter Mary. He accepted, but died in battle in 1473. WI he had not died and had married the heiress of Burgundy? IOTL he had no legitimate children, and Lorraine was inherited by his cousin René. However, he had an illegitimate daughter, so it's probable that he and Mary would have children. Which kind of differences we could see in Europe with a united Lorraine-Burgundy?

Would it come to such an union, though? IOTL, even the Holy Roman Emperor didnt manage to gain all lands of the Burgundian inheritance. Lorraine is some orders of magnitude less powerful, so France may get all or at least most of it.

Yes, I thought about it too. Maybe it would be necessary the survival of Charles the Bold, or an earlier death of Louis XI.
