Commentary


Cette obole est classée par Caron à Guillaume IX et il indique à son sujet, p. 158 : “Aucune explication nouvelle ne s’est produite pour la légende VICTORIA. La plus plausible est encore celle de M. de Gourgues, qui la traduit par VICTORIAcum. Il l’attribuait à Vieille-Brioude. M. Galy y verrait plutôt Vitré, Vitry ou Vitrac, localités dont le nom est fréquent en Aquitaine”. Les deniers font généralement autour de 1,10 g, mais les oboles apparaissent assez lourdes.

Historical background


AQUITAINE - DUCHY OF AQUITAINE - WILLIAM IX

(1086-1127)

Guillaume IX (1071-1127) is Count of Poitiers, Duke of Aquitaine and Gascony (1086-1127). He is also nicknamed the Troubadour because of the texts in the Romance language that he composed and which are among the oldest French poems on courtly love; we now have eleven left. William seized the county of Toulouse twice in 1098-1100 and 1119-1125/7.
