Additional information

Eustace III ruled Boulogne at one of the more consequential moments in his family's history — his brother Godfrey had just taken Jerusalem in 1099, and Eustace himself was offered the kingship of the new crusader state before declining it in favor of returning to his county. The Boulonnais deniers of this period reflect a regional minting tradition operating largely outside direct Capetian monetary control, Boulogne's counts maintaining autonomous striking rights through their feudal independence from the French crown.
