Historical background


LORRAINE - BISHOPRIC OF METZ - CHARLES I OF LORRAINE (82nd and 84th bishop)

(1550/1 and 1555-1588)

Charles I of Lorraine-Guise, bishop of Metz, cardinal-elector, is the son of Claude I of Guise, brother of Antoine, Duke of Lorraine. Charles is the brother of François, Duke of Guise, killed by the Protestants in 1563. He is the uncle of Henri, Duke of Guise, and Cardinal Louis de Guise murdered in Blois in 1588 and of Charles Duke of Mayenne. One of the main instigators of the Counter-Reformation in Lorraine, Charles I only had coins minted in Vic-sur-Seille because he was forbidden by King Henry II to mint coins in Metz. The type used is directly copied from the municipal bugnes, but the two Cs make it possible to return them to Charles de Lorraine-Guise.
