Denier - Henri Ier Mâcon

Henri I inherited a fractured kingdom in 1031 after a succession dispute with his own mother, Queen Constance, who backed his younger brother Robert. The minting of deniers at Mâcon reflects Henri's broader effort to assert royal monetary authority across Burgundy during a reign defined more by political survival than expansion.

Mâcon had passed to the French crown only in 1027, and its mint was among the instruments used to consolidate that acquisition.
