| Additional information |
Hugh IX inherited La Marche in 1199 after a generation of bitter dispute with the Lusignan family, and his son Hugh X continued issuing coins under an essentially identical type — which is precisely why the attribution remains collapsed across both reigns in every major reference. The shared design was a deliberate political statement of dynastic continuity during a period when the Capetian crown was systematically absorbing Poitevin baronies.
Hugh X's decision to support the baronial revolt against Louis VIII in 1224 briefly threatened the county's autonomy entirely. These deniers circulated through that turbulence without modification.
