| Additional information |
Henry of Lancaster — first duke of that title, created 1351 — held Bergerac as part of his extensive Aquitainian holdings under the terms of Edward III's territorial arrangements in Gascony. His lordship there was brief; he died of plague in 1361, and the lordship passed through his daughter Blanche to John of Gaunt. This groschen was therefore struck within a ten-year window bounded on one end by a ducal patent and on the other by the Black Death.
