| 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.
