| Additional information |
Aymar VI de Poitiers ruled Valentinois and Diois during a period of sustained pressure from the Dauphiné, whose dauphins were systematically absorbing neighboring lordships throughout the mid-fourteenth century. His county would ultimately pass to the French crown when Humbert II sold the Dauphiné in 1349, yet Valentinois retained nominal independence under Aymar's continued rule — this fractional issue being among the monetary evidence that he maintained comital prerogatives well into the 1360s. Billon coinage of this type circulated in a region where Viennois and papal Avignonese issues competed directly.
