Commentary

Denier de la plus grande rareté absent des ouvrages de références ne recensant que des exemplaires pour la proche seigneurie d’Élincourt. Cette monnaie copie les monnaies du duché de Bretagne et de la vicomté de Limoges. Deux autres exemplaires ont été publiés pour la première fois dans le BSFN, juin 2013. Ils provenaient du trésor de Saint-Valery-en-Caux.

Historical background

CAMBRÉSIS - LORDSHIP OF WALINCOURT - WILLIAM I, COUNT OF HAINAUT

(1304-1337)

Walincourt is a small town located in the arrondissement of Cambrai, (canton of Clary, arrondissement of Cambrai). In 1306, the Count of Hainaut granted the lords of Walincourt the right to mint coins. In 1314, Jean de Walincourt recognized that his fief belonged to the bishop of Cambrai and therefore ceased all strikes. Walincourt was almost completely destroyed during the First World War. This town is now home to more than 2,000 inhabitants..
