Raymond of Anduze held Roquefeuil through a web of feudal obligations that left the lordship caught between the competing pressures of the counts of Toulouse and the crown of Aragon throughout the late twelfth century. That this small Rouergue lordship struck its own billon coinage at all reflects the genuine fragmentation of monetary authority in the Languedoc during this period — dozens of petty lords exercised minting rights, and Roquefeuil was among the more minor of them.
Dy féodales 1571 remains the standard reference, with Boudeau and the Poey d'Avant corpus largely in agreement on attribution.
