As the heir presumptive, Mary of Burgundy singed the Great Privilege and then reigned from 1477 to 1482. Soon after assuming control of the Burgundian State, she married the Archduke Maximilian of Austria, two years her junior and the future Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian I. Mary's marriage into the House of Habsburg initiated two centuries of contention between France and the Habsburgs, a struggle that climaxed with the War of the Spanish Succession in the years 1701–1714.
