Commentary


Monnaie de la plus grande rareté qui serait unique selon Dominique Legros et qui constitue le prototype des monnaies vendômoises à la tête. Cet exemplaire proviendrait du trésor du Loiret, est classé par Dominique Legros à Bouchard II le Vénérable (958-1012), mais pourrait tout aussi bien appartenir à Bouchard Ier Chauve-Souris (930-958). Son style est proche de celui de Blois qui était conservé dans le trésor de Fécamp et qui est attribué à Thibault le Tricheur (957/960-975-978). Quatre exemplaires sont signalés dans l’étude du trésor du Loiret.

Historical background


VENDÔMOIS - VENDÔME

Made up of the Vendôme region and the Loir Valley, Vendômois was confiscated from the English by Philippe Auguste and attached to the royal domain in 1214. Erected as a duchy in 1515 for the house of Bourbon, it was given to César de Bourbon, natural son of Henri IV and Gabrielle d'Estrées. The duchy was definitively attached to the Crown in 1712.
