..were relinquished to the House of Habsburg in Austria. Franche-Comté were among the territories ceded to Austria...

This is very confusing. To the House of Habsburg yes, to Austria no. As an independent country Austria did not exist in these days any more than the Netherlands. Yes Maximilian possessed the Austrian lands as well as Flanders Franche-Comte etc. but Brussels was the capital of what would become the Burgundian Circle. Not Vienna.
Another problem is that for some of the territories mentioned it is merely a recognition of ownership by the French king, not a cession
The Dutchy of Burgundy?? That had been taken in 1477 and ceded by Maximillian at the Peace of Arras.. Yes, the title was continued, but it was only a title. Or is this part of the confusion around the Franche-Comte being the Freigrafschaft Burgund, the German fief to the east of the French one?
