Additional information

Charles of Valois received the county of Chartres in 1293 as part of the territorial settlement following his renunciation of the Aragonese crown — a throne he had briefly claimed through his wife Margaret but never held in practice. His Chartres coinage reflects the aggressive monetization of newly acquired lordships that characterized Capetian apanage policy in this period. The rosette variety distinguishes his Chartres issues from superficially similar deniers struck under neighboring jurisdictions, and Poey d'Avant's enumeration of two reference numbers signals documented die variation within the type.
