Historical background


LANGUEDOC - VISCOUNTCY OF CARCASSONNE - BERNARD ATON IV TRENCAVEL

(1083-1129)

The coinage of Carcassonne begins at the end of the 10th century, around 980-1000. The viscounts of Béziers were also viscounts of Carcassonne since the marriage of Raymond I (1002-1012) with Garsinde, viscountess of Béziers and Agde. Raymond Trencavel II, was the last viscount of Carcassonne and Béziers from 1209 to 1247, in the midst of the Cathar heresy. Dispossessed of Carcassonne by Simon de Montfort in 1209, he ceded the two viscounties to the King of France, Louis IX, in 1247.
