| Additional information |
Jacqueline of Bavaria inherited Hainaut, Holland, and Zeeland in 1417 following the death of her father, William VI, but her reign was immediately contested. Her marriage to John IV of Brabant — arranged partly to consolidate Low Countries territories under a single dynastic bloc — proved politically disastrous. John was ineffectual, and Jacqueline eventually abandoned him, fleeing to England in 1421 where she sought the backing of Henry V. Coins struck jointly in their names belong to the narrow window before that rupture, making this issue a direct artifact of a marriage that was already unraveling as it was being minted.
