Mary of Burgundy was born in [[Brussels]] at the ducal castle of [[Coudenberg]], to [[Charles the Bold]], then known as the Count of Charolais, and his wife [[Isabella of Bourbon]].{{sfn|Darsie|2023|loc=table 2}} Her birth, according to the court chronicler [[Georges Chastellain]], was attended by a clap of thunder ringing from the otherwise clear twilight sky. Her godfather was [[Louis XI of France|Louis, Dauphin of France]], in exile in Burgundy at that time; he named her for his mother [[Marie of Anjou]]. Reactions to the child's birth were mixed: the baby's grandfather, Duke [[Philip the Good]], was unimpressed, and "chose not to attend the [<nowiki/>[[baptism]]] as [[Son preference|it was only for a girl]]", whereas her grandmother [[Isabella of Portugal, Duchess of Burgundy|Isabella of Portugal]] was delighted at the birth of a granddaughter.{{sfn|Taylor|2002|p=?}} Her illegitimate aunt [[Anna van Bourgondië|Anne]] was assigned to be responsible for Mary's education and assigned Jeanne de Clito to be her governess. Jeanne remained a friend to Mary later in life and was one of her most constant companions.
