TONNERRE - COUNTY OF TONNERRE - ÉLÉONORE OF SAVOY
(1304-1308)
Guillaume de Chalon, count of Auxerre, was killed in August 1304 during the battle of Mons-en-Pévèle. His son, Jean II de Chalon was then only 12 years old and his aunt Éléonore de Savoie ensured the regency. She then minted coins in her name. On June 27, 1308, when she married Dreux de Mello, the regency was entrusted to Jean II's grandfather, Jean I de Chalon..
