Alphonse of Poitiers inherited the County of Toulouse through his wife Jeanne in 1249 following the death of Raymond VII, and his administration of the region — including Albi — was shaped entirely by the aftermath of the Albigensian Crusade. Coinage struck in the name of "Raymond" during his rule was a deliberate continuity gesture, preserving the dynastic name of the Raymondine counts to ease political transition in a region still raw from decades of crusading violence and inquisitorial pressure.
Alphonse died without legitimate heirs in 1271, and the county reverted to the French crown — ending feudal coinage of this type abruptly.
