Additional information

Simon I ruled Lippe as lord from 1247 until his death in 1277, but his appearance as the named authority on a Paderborn episcopal issue reflects the tangled feudal jurisdictions of thirteenth-century Westphalia, where secular lords and bishop-princes frequently shared or contested minting rights over the same territory. Corvey's numismatic record for this type is thin, and surviving examples are scarce enough that die studies remain incomplete.
