On April 12, 1385, at the Burgundian double wedding in Cambrai, he married Margaret of Bavaria, daughter of Albrecht of Bavaria, Count of Holland and Hainaut at the same time his sister, Margaret of Burgundy, Duchess of Bavaria married their son William II, Duke of Bavaria, to consolidate his position in the Low Countries, after cancelling his engagement with Catherine of France, daughter of Charles V of France. The Oude Kronik van Brabant names:

"…secunda Margareta…" wife of "Johanni duci Burgundie, primogenitor ducis Philippi" as the daughter of "Albertus palatinus Reni, dux Bavarie" and his wife "Margaretam filiam Ludovici ducis de Briga ex Polonia"

On 10 September 1419 on the bridge at Montereau, John of Burgundy was assassinated by the men of the Dauphin, Charles VII, at a diplomatic meeting. He was later buried in Dijon. The necrology of Vauvert records the death "XVIII Kal Oct" of "Joannes dux Burgundie".
