Denier - Hugh I

Hugh I of Rouergue inherited a county that had been carved out of the old Carolingian march system, and his coinage reflects the broader fragmentation of royal monetary authority in eleventh-century southern France — a period when dozens of local lords began striking in their own names with little interference from the Capetian crown. The Dy féodales reference places this squarely among the earliest documented feudal deniers of the Midi.

Billon quality in Rouerguan issues of this period is notoriously inconsistent, with silver content varying substantially between dies even within a single reign.
