Additional information

Odo II of Blois pressed his claim to the Kingdom of Burgundy through much of the 1030s, fighting Emperor Conrad II directly at the Battle of Bar in 1037 — where Odo was killed. His counties of Champagne and Brie sat at the crossroads of that ambition, and the deniers struck during this window reflect a comital authority actively competing with both imperial and royal power. The emission dates bracket his final military campaigns almost exactly.
