| Additional information |
Edward I acquired the County of Ponthieu by right of his wife Eleanor of Castile, who had inherited it in 1279 following the death of her mother Joan. The county reverted to French control after Eleanor's death in 1290, which neatly brackets this entire issue. Edward struck coins here as count rather than as king of England, making this one of the few instances where an English monarch issued currency under a separate French comital title.
