Additional information

Régnier V was the son of Régnier IV, who had been expelled from Hainaut by the Ottonians in 973 and died in exile. The county's restoration to the family came only after protracted negotiation, and Régnier V spent much of his tenure navigating the competing pressures of the German Empire and the County of Flanders. His issues from Mons — the comital seat — are among the earliest attributable coinage of the restored Regnier line, struck at a mint whose output during this period remains poorly documented in contemporary sources.
