Commentary
Ce type est souvent attribué à tort à Charles IV le Bel et il faut le restituer à Charles IV de Luxembourg. Ce gros n'a pas été frappé pour le Luxembourg, mais pour Charles IV en tant que roi des Romains.
Historical background
HOLY ROMAN EMPIRE - CHARLES IV OF LUXEMBOURG KING OF THE ROMANS
(1347-1355)
Charles IV (1319-1378), the son of Jean II the Blind killed at the Battle of Crécy (1346), is King of Bohemia and Count of Luxembourg (1346-1378), King of the Romans (1347/1355) at the death of Ludwig IV of Bavaria and Holy Roman Emperor (1355-1378). He is the son-in-law of Charles de Valois because he married Blanche de Valois (+1348), the brother-in-law of Philippe VI de Valois and of the future Jean II le Bon by his sister Judith (+1349). He is the uncle of Charles V. He married four times and his son, Wenceslas IV (1361-1419), succeeded him in 1378.
