Historical background
LANGUEDOC - BISHOPRIC OF VIVIERS - AIMAR DE LA VOULTE
(1326-1365)
Viviers, on the right bank of the Rhône, was located below in Roman times on the site of Alba, then the town then took refuge on the rock. Viviers has been a bishopric since the 4th century. Attached to the Holy Empire, the bishops received the right to mint from the Emperor Conrad in 1147. The monetary lease was confirmed by Frederick I Barbarossa (1152-1190) in 1177, then by Frederick II of Hohenstaufen (1197-1250) in 1214. The most dangerous neighbor for the bishops is the Count of Toulouse. After the Treaty of Paris in 1229, the bishops emancipated themselves from Languedoc supervision. The coinage with a bishop's name begins with Guillaume de Falguières (1294-1297) and ceases with Aimar de la Voulte (1326-1365) at the time of the Great Plague in 1348.
