Additional information

Amadeus of Saluzzo held the joint see of Valence and Die during a period when the Dauphiné was caught between competing royal and ecclesiastical jurisdictions — the French crown had only acquired the Dauphiné in 1349, and episcopal minting rights in the region remained actively contested. That this issue is denominated in fractions of the groschen rather than the denier tournois reflects the persistent influence of trans-Alpine monetary conventions on a diocese with deep Savoyard and Italian connections through the Saluzzo marquisate.
