Art of War, 1475, I have diplo annexated Scotland, most of Ireland, vassalized the rest of Ireland, and gave to France Maine and Anjou

France however, lost to Burgundy several provinces during the HWY (this is how I managed to win) which means taking head on Burgundy somewhat...complex (as Burgundy outnumber ALONE France and England armies)

Should I ''feed''Burgundy provinces to France or annex them for myself ?

If I continue as an Anglo-French union, I tend to feed France the inland provinces and take coastal ones for myself. You do need to monitor France to make sure it's not getting too strong, but presumably you're also expanding elsewhere during truces, something France isn't. A dutch state could work, and would avoid the dutch revolts, without having to move your capital, but those dip slots are precious. If you're able to keep a big ally or two, French liberation wars become much easier.
