| Additional information |
Eleanor of Alsace inherited Vermandois through a contested succession following the death of her father Philip I of Alsace, Count of Flanders, in 1191 at the siege of Acre during the Third Crusade. The county's coinage rights became a point of friction with the French crown, and Eleanor's issues were struck during a period when Philip II of France was systematically absorbing the great northern French counties into royal domain. Vermandois itself passed to the crown shortly after Eleanor's death.
The Denier Parisis type signals deliberate alignment with Capetian monetary conventions — a political signal as much as a practical one.
