Historical background
LANGUEDOC - ANDUZE AND SAUVE - BERNARD II
(1145-1164)
Anduze et Sauve belonged to the Bermond family between the 10th and 12th centuries. Bernard II d'Anduze was the husband of Ermengarde, viscountess of Narbonne (1143-1192). Alphonse Jourdain, Count of Toulouse, had been Ermengarde's tutor between 1134 and 1143 after the death of his father Aimery II (1108-1134). Coins began to be produced under Bernard II. Poey d'Avant had rightly noticed that the small ovoid-shaped bezant which confines the cross on the reverse was perhaps the mark of a new issue. In 1248, the lords of Anduze and Sauve sold the Sommières workshop to Louis IX.
