Commentary


Un tel denier avec l’œil en forme d’oméga et entre deux croix est particulièrement rare. Dominique Legros lui assigne à juste titre un indice de rareté R5. De tels deniers étaient présents dans le trésor de Saumur enfoui vers 1028-1030.
Such a denarius with the eye in the shape of an omega and between two crosses is particularly rare. Dominique Legros rightly assigns it a rarity index of R5. Such denarii were present in the Saumur treasure buried around 1028-1030.

Historical background


CHÂTEAUDUN - VISCOUNTCY OF CHÂTEAUDUN - EUDES II

(996-1037)

Geoffroy II was viscount of Châteaudun (1004-1039), but the viscount is in fact dominated by the counts of the house of Blois and its most illustrious representative, Eudes II, the grandson of Thibaut le Tricheur who was count of Blois, of Chartres, of Champagne and happened to be at the beginning of the 11th century the most powerful lord north of the Loire; vassal more powerful than his suzerain, the king of France, Robert II the Pious.
