| Additional information |
Robert I held the lordship of Selles-sur-Cher during a period when the Berry region was contested ground between the Capetian crown and the Plantagenet holdings in Aquitaine. Small feudal mints like Selles operated under increasingly precarious authority as Philip II systematically absorbed independent lordships into the royal domain — a process that would accelerate sharply after 1180. This denier belongs to that shrinking window of genuine feudal monetary autonomy in the Loire valley.
