Commentary
Henri Ier (né en 1008 - mort le 4 août 1060 à Vitry-aux-Loges, près d'Orléans), roi des Francs de 1031 à 1060.
Troisième roi de la dynastie dite des Capétiens directs, il est le fils de Robert le Pieux et de Constance d’Arles.
Sacré roi du vivant de son père le 14 mai 1027 à Reims, il lui succède en 1031 mais doit faire face à l'hostilité de sa mère et des grands vassaux qui veulent faire monter son frère cadet Robert sur le trône. Henri Ier obtient l'appui de l'empereur romain germanique Conrad II et surtout celui du duc de Normandie Robert le Magnifique, mais pour obtenir la paix, il doit céder à son frère le duché de Bourgogne en apanage. Mais le comte Eudes II de Blois ne se soumet pas pour autant, et soutient Eudes (v. 1013-v. 1057/1059), autre frère d'Henri Ier, mais vaincu, ce dernier est assigné à résidence à Orléans.
Suite au départ en 1035 pour la Terre sainte de Robert le Magnifique, Henri Ier devient le tuteur de son fils, le futur Guillaume Ier, duc de Normandie. Quand la nouvelle de la mort de Robert lui parvient, il soutient le jeune duc contre les seigneurs de Normandie qui lui sont hostiles. Ensemble, ils les combattent et les défont à la bataille du Val-ès-Dunes en 1047. La montée en puissance du duc inquiète le roi de France qui se brouille avec Guillaume Ier. Ce dernier le vainc à Mortemer en 1054, puis quatre ans plus tard à Varaville.

Henry I (born in 1008 - died August 4, 1060 in Vitry-aux-Loges, near Orléans), King of the Franks from 1031 to 1060.
Third king of the dynasty known as the direct Capetians, he is the son of Robert the Pious and Constance of Arles.
Crowned king during his father's lifetime on May 14, 1027 in Reims, he succeeded him in 1031 but had to face the hostility of his mother and the great vassals who wanted to put his younger brother Robert on the throne.. Henry I obtained the support of the Holy Roman Emperor Conrad II and especially that of the Duke of Normandy Robert the Magnificent, but to obtain peace, he had to cede the Duchy of Burgundy to his brother as an appanage.. But Count Eudes II of Blois did not submit, and supported Eudes (v. 1013-v. 1057/1059), another brother of Henry I, but defeated, the latter was placed under house arrest in Orléans.
Following Robert the Magnificent's departure for the Holy Land in 1035, Henry I became the tutor of his son, the future William I, Duke of Normandy.. When news of Robert's death reached him, he supported the young duke against the lords of Normandy who were hostile to him.. Together, they fought and defeated them at the Battle of Val-ès-Dunes in 1047.. The Duke's rise to power worried the King of France, who fell out with William I.. The latter defeated him at Mortemer in 1054, then four years later at Varaville.

Historical background
METALLIC SERIES OF THE KINGS OF FRANCE
This series was engraved by Thomas Bernard and is interrupted, for this author, with the token of Louis XIV. The following tokens are engraved by Nicolas Gatteaux for Louis XV, Duvivier for Louis XVI, Puymaurin and Gayrard for Louis XVII, Puymaurin and Depaulis for Louis XVIII. The series is often attributed to Jean Dassier on the faith of Forrer but he corrects his assertion in his volume VIII and confirms the archives of the Monnaie de Paris which specify that the series was commissioned by Monsieur de Launay. There are different issues, in copper or brass, of varying weights but consistent by series, the reverse dies are sometimes varied. The classification of kings is done according to ancient usage, in three successive races. We note the existence of a very rare token explaining the abbreviations that we have only seen in a brass series. The packaging of this series was in a wooden tube. It is of course very difficult to reconstruct it and it should be noted that the different tokens have very different rarities, having probably been bought piecemeal by the public, favoring the good kings. There is at least one series in silver, possibly apocryphal, completed up to Napoleon III with tokens for all successive regimes, including the Revolution and Napoleon I, see MONNAIES 28, n° 1395. This series is documented in a small book by Philippe Marinèche from whoever can acquire it, contact phmarineche@aol. com.
