Historical background


ROMORANTIN - COUNTY OF ROMORANTIN - THIBAUT VI

(1205-1218)

The county of Romorantin already belonged to Blésois at the beginning of the 13th century, since the lord of Saint-Aignan, who held Romorantin, depended on Louis de Blois (Legros, p. 417). Coinage seems to have started around 1120-1125 with anonymous coins inspired by Chartres; around 1205, or shortly after, the coins take on a T, the initial of Thibaut who was the only Count of Romorantin to sign his coinage.
