Well can it? if so, what are the terms? will burgundy keep it cores on lowlands? thanks anyway
It can, if it owns paris and France does not exist. As soon as you gain dutch culture and move to the lowlands, though, you can no longer become France.Duke of Brabant said:Well can it? if so, what are the terms? will burgundy keep it cores on lowlands? thanks anyway
How to became France from Burgundy and keep both french and dutch cultures.
1. In 1421 (approx), when offered a choice support Lancaster claim to the French crown choose b) defy England. You will be in war with England in alliance with France, Brabant and Cleves.
2. In october 1422 Charles VI will die and offer you a post of regent. You will inherit France, but not became France (continue as Burgundy). You will be in war with Dauphine.
3. Survive wars with England and Dauphine. In 1430 you will inherit Brabant and later when choice offered, move capital to Brussel. You will receive a dutch culture.
4. In 1461 after Charles VII of Dauphine will die you will receive a number of provinces and will be able to choose whether to became a France or not. Choose France and it will trigger an event to move capital to Paris.
5. In 1486 you will receive a choice whether to have independent Burgundy or not. Choose b) and you will inherit Dauphine.
6. During all these times you will inherit Luxemburg (if it survived). You should take care, that Dauphine survived until 1461 if you wish to became France and until 1486 if you wish to inherit it. So, don't try to crash it.
7. Now, you are a king of France with addition of the very rich Netherlands and french and dutch cultures. You will have cores on the French provinces owned by English. Crush England/Brittany alliance and take what is rightfully yours.
8. You are the strongest power in the world. Enjoy !
Unfortunately it didn't worked for me. There was no point 4 & 5 – no such events triggered, and I have fulfilled the conditions though.

#-#With the death of the Dauphin Charles, neither his son Louis nor the King of England was in a position to impose their rights on the Duke of Burgundy, who had controlled the government of the Kingdom for many decades already. Ensured of the support of the Parliament of Paris and being joined by many former Armagnac partisans after the failure of the cause of the Dauphin, the road towards the throne was now open. Admittedly his legitimacy was contestable, and many were likely to be agitated, but nobody had the authority to oppose him...
