Commentary


Monnaie de la plus grande rareté semblant inédite. Ce type monétaire se rapproche de celui de Charles le Simple de Saint-Denis, avec la légende bilinéaire au revers encadrée de deux groupes de trois points. Dans le champ du droit, nous trouvons non pas le monogramme CAROLVS de Charles, mais le monogramme de Raoul (RODOLFVS). Le revers avec les deux groupes de trois points posés en triangle se retrouve également sur la série des deniers de Saint-Denis d’Hugues le Grand (Trésors monétaires XXVIII, n° 3, p. 123) puis d’Hugues Capet (Idem, n° 120 et suiv., p. 125-126).

Historical background


RUDOLPH

(07/13/923-01/15/936)

Raoul is the son of Richard le Justicier, Duke of Burgundy. He married Emma, sister of Hugh the Great, daughter of Robert of France. On the death of Robert I of France at the Battle of Soissons in 923, his son-in-law Raoul was elected king while Charles III the Simple was arrested and dismissed. He must face the rise of the Normans whose king, Rollo, received Normandy at the Treaty of Saint-Clair-sur-Epte in 911. Raoul must face the rise in power of Guillaume Longue Epée, Duke of Normandy, and Hugh, Count of Vermandois. He died in 936, without posterity.
