| Additional information |
Conrad I of Burgundy inherited the Kingdom of Arles — itself an unwieldy amalgamation of Provence, Burgundy, and parts of what is now western Switzerland — through the tangled dynastic politics of the post-Carolingian collapse. His coinage reflects a period when royal minting authority was fragmenting rapidly across the region, with episcopal and comital mints beginning to assert independence. The denier type associated with his reign is closely linked to the Viennois minting tradition.
Conrad died in 993 without a male heir, triggering a succession dispute that ultimately delivered the kingdom to the Holy Roman Empire under Conrad II in 1032.
