Marie of Burgundy

It seems the line of our dynasty has grown rotten and withered with our ruler’s final seed. our ruler our dynasty has been incapable of producing an heir in all of his years as the last remaining male of the our dynasty line.\n\nHowever, the our ruler did produce a talented and beautiful Princess by the name of Marie. their father Philippe our dynasty famously despised Marie and insisted that no woman should sit the throne of Burgundy, but our ruler is not his father and times are growing desperate. Should our ruler die without producing an heir, Marie will become their de facto successor either way, but if our ruler forsook the pursuit of a male heir and favored Marie as the rightful heir to Burgundy, her claim would be strengthened and we may be able to negotiate our way through this succession crisis with minimal strife.\n\nFemale heirs are seen as quite the prize for ambitious men, and Marie's succession may lead to Burgundy falling under a union with a foreign power.
