Historical background
CHAMPAGNE - ARCHBISHOPRIC OF MEAUX - PIERRE I
(1172-1174)
The coinage of the bishops of Meaux is relatively rare. Only the names of five of them are known to us: Gauthier (1045-1102), Bouchard (1120-1134), Renaud (1158-1161), Étienne (1161-1171) and Pierre (1172-1174). This coinage seems to have ceased before the end of the 12th century, although it is still mentioned in the "ordinance of the barons" of 1315.
