Brûlé - Arnold of Hornes

Arnold of Hornes held the Prince-bishopric of Liège through one of its more turbulent stretches — his episcopate coincided with the broader crisis of the Western Schism, which fractured ecclesiastical authority across the Low Countries after 1378 and forced every church prince to declare allegiance to either Rome or Avignon. Arnold backed Urban VI. The brûlé itself is a base billon petty coin, its name derived from the French for "burned," a reference to the heavily debased alloy characteristic of small Liégeois fiduciary issues of the period.
