Mary was born on 13 February 1457 in Brussels. She was the only child of Charles the Bold, Duke of Burgundy and his wife Isabella of Bourbon. Her father controlled a vast and wealthy domain made up of the Duchy of Burgundy, the Free County of Burgundy, and the majority of the Low Countries. Mary's father died in 1477 at the Battle of Nancy, making her Duchess of Burgundy and one of the richest women in Europe.

Since she was a girl there were many suitors for her hand and soon after she became a duchess Mary married Archduke Maximilian of Austria, the future Holy Roman Emperor Maximilian I. They had three children - Philip the Handsome (Philip I of Castile husband of Joanna of Castile), Margaret of Austria, Duchess of Savoy and a younger son Franz/François who passed away as a baby.

In 1482 during a falcon hunt Mary's horse tripped, threw her in a ditch, and then landed on top of her, breaking her back. She died several weeks later from the sustained injuries, aged only 25. During her last weeks she made a detailed will and outlined her wishes for a monument which she requested that she would be buried. Maximilian organized a lavish ceremony for her but due to the court's bankruptcy he had to melt down and sell off their cutlery and silverware. Because of these financial constraints, work of Mary's tomb did not begin until at least September 1488 and was finished in 1501.

The monument consists of Mary's gilt-bronze effigy placed over a tomb made of black stone. The tomb's sides are decorated with gilt-bronze branches of her family tree and the coats of arms of her ancestors. The short-side below her head contains her own coats of arms.
