Commentary


Poinçon abeille. Frappe monnaie. La Cathédrale Sainte-Croix existe depuis le VIIIe siècle mais l’incendie de 989 ravage l’édifice qui est reconstruit par les premiers Capétiens. Au XIIe siècle, l’édifice reçoit une façade avec trois portails et deux tours mais un effondrement de terrain oblige à reprendre les travaux au XIIIe siècle. Pendant les Guerres de religion, les piliers du transept sont minés par les Huguenots. Henri IV, dans un esprit de réconciliation pose la première pierre d’une nouvelle cathédrale en 1601. Les travaux se poursuivent tout au long du XVIIIe siècle, les tours sont construites en 1767.
Bee hallmark. Minting. The Sainte-Croix Cathedral has existed since the 8th century, but the fire of 989 ravaged the building, which was rebuilt by the first Capetians. In the 12th century, the building received a façade with three portals and two towers, but a landslide forced work to resume in the 13th century. During the Wars of Religion, the transept pillars were undermined by the Huguenots. Henry IV, in a spirit of reconciliation, laid the foundation stone of a new cathedral in 1601. Work continued throughout the 18th century, and the towers were built in 1767.

Historical background


ORLÉANAIS - Gentry and towns

Founded on the ruins of the Gallic city of Cenabum, the city takes the name of the emperor Aurélien, Aurelianum. The city was a bishopric from the 4th century then capital of a Frankish kingdom in the 6th century. Forming a county under the Carolingians, the Orleans region then became the territorial base of Capetian power. Endowed with a university since 1309, it was then besieged by the English but delivered by Joan of Arc in May 1429. The city then entered history several times during the Wars of Religion, the Fronde or in 1870 when it is occupied by von der Tann.
