Additional information

Anthony of Burgundy held Brabant and Luxembourg simultaneously through inheritance, making his coinage politically ambiguous — issues struck in his name circulate under both territories in modern references, and catalogers still disagree on precise attribution. His reign ended abruptly at Agincourt in October 1415, where he died fighting for the French crown despite having no military obligation to do so. He reportedly borrowed a soldier's armor to enter the battle.
