Archambaud VIII of Bourbon struck these deniers during a period when the lordship was pressing its semi-autonomous monetary rights with particular assertiveness. The choice to issue in the name of Louis — almost certainly a deference to Capetian authority rather than a genuine royal issue — reflects the careful political balancing act Bourbon lords maintained throughout the mid-thirteenth century, projecting loyalty while retaining local minting prerogative.
Dy féodales 801 is among the more frequently encountered Bourbon billon issues, though survivors in clean condition are scarcer than raw numbers suggest.
