| Additional information |
The lords of Reckem operated in the fractured monetary environment of the late medieval Low Countries, where small lordships retained minting rights long after larger neighbors had absorbed or suppressed them. William II of Sombreffe held Reckem through the mid-fifteenth century, a period when Burgundian consolidation was steadily eroding the practical autonomy of minor Flemish and Brabantine seigneurs — making issues like this one products of a minting privilege already living on borrowed time.
