| Additional information |
William I of Chauvigny acquired the lordship of Déols through his marriage to Denise de Déols around 1207, effectively absorbing one of Berry's most strategically positioned domains into the Chauvigny family. The Chauvigny lords were vassals of the French crown but operated with considerable monetary autonomy, and this denier reflects that independence — a local currency circulating in a region where Capetian authority was still consolidating after the slow erosion of Plantagenet influence in central France.
Boudeau 281 is not a rare reference, but genuine struck examples in collectible condition thin out quickly.
