| Additional information |
Jeanne I ruled Provence through one of the most turbulent reigns of the fourteenth century — twice tried for murder, sold the city of Avignon to Pope Clement VI in 1348 for 80,000 florins to fund her legal defense in Naples, and ultimately strangled on orders of Charles of Durazzo in 1382, the same year this coinage type ceased. Her monetary administration of Provence remained largely stable despite the chaos surrounding her personally, continuing the denier traditions established under her Angevin predecessors.
