Commentary


Gros copiant le gros à l’étoile de Jean II créé à partir de novembre 1359. Yannick Jézéquel n’avait recensé que des exemplaires avec une ponctuation par losange, faisant un rapprochement avec les 4e, 5e et 6e émissions de janvier/février 1360 et oubliant la 3e émission du 31 décembre 1359. Cet exemplaire semblant inédit présente une ponctuation par simple annelet et présente un point après GRA donc correspondant aux 1re et 2e émissions de Jean II le Bon (Duplessy 308 et 308A) ordonnés les 22 novembre et 2 décembre 1359.

Historical background


BRITTANY - DUCHY OF BRITTANY - CHARLES OF BLOIS

(1341-1364)

Charles de Blois (1319-1364) married Jeanne de Penthièvre, the daughter of Guy, brother of Jean III, last Duke of Brittany, who died in 1341. He claimed the duchy for his wife against Simon de Montfort (1341-1345), demi -brother of John III. The war began in 1341. He seized Rennes in 1342. Simon de Montfort died in 1345, his wife Jeanne de Flandre continued the fight for their son Jean IV de Montfort (1341-1399). Charles became Viscount of Limoges in 1344. After Crécy, he was captured and taken captive to England in 1347; he will only be released after the battle of Poitiers, leaving his two sons as hostages. After the Treaty of Brétigny in 1360, Jean II le Bon and Édouard III tried to reconcile the two parties at the meeting in Calais in 1362. It was a failure because of the two Joans (of Penthièvre and of Flanders). Charles was killed at the Battle of Auray on September 27, 1364.
