Commentary
Louis V (né vers 967- mort le 22 mai 987), fut roi des Francs de mars 986 à mai 987. Fils de Lothaire et d'Emma, il est le dernier des Carolingiens, le pouvoir passant aux Robertiens.
En 982, à Vieux-Brioude, (Haute-Loire, entre Clermont-Ferrand et le Puy), son père lui fait épouser Adélaïde d'Anjou, qui a presque vingt ans de plus que son fils. Sœur de Geoffroy Grisegonelle et de l'évêque du Puy Guy d'Anjou, Adélaïde, aussi appelée Blanche, est la fille du comte d'Anjou, Foulque II le Bon. Déjà veuve par deux fois, elle a épousé une première fois le comte de Brioude, Étienne de Gévaudan, puis Raymond, comte de Toulouse. Cette union est éphémère : la trop grande différence d’âge et les débauches du jeune époux sont la cause de leur divorce deux ans plus tard.
Le dimanche de Pentecôte 8 juin 979, son père Lothaire l’associe au trône, et le fait couronner à l'abbaye Saint-Corneille de Compiègne par Adalbéron, archevêque de Reims. Son père décédé (le 2 mars 986), Louis V, a seulement le temps de convoquer une assemblée de Francs à Compiègne. Celle-ci doit juger l'archevêque de Reims Adalbéron, qui a soutenu Otton II dans sa querelle contre Lothaire. Or, la veille de la réunion, le 22 mai 987, Louis V meurt d'une chute de cheval lors d'une partie de chasse sur les terres d’Hugues Capet dans la forêt d'Halatte près de Senlis. Il est inhumé en l'abbaye Saint-Corneille de Compiègne.
L'assemblée qui se réunit au mois de juin suivant à Senlis choisit un nouveau roi en élisant Hugues Capet, fils aîné d'Hugues le Grand.

Louis V (born around 967 - died May 22, 987), was King of the Franks from March 986 to May 987. Son of Lothair and Emma, he was the last of the Carolingians, power passing to the Robertians.
In 982, in Vieux-Brioude (Haute-Loire, between Clermont-Ferrand and Le Puy), his father made him marry Adélaïde d'Anjou, who was almost twenty years older than his son.. Sister of Geoffroy Grisegonelle and the Bishop of Puy Guy d'Anjou, Adélaïde, also called Blanche, is the daughter of the Count of Anjou, Foulque II the Good. Already widowed twice, she married the Count of Brioude, Étienne de Gévaudan, then Raymond, Count of Toulouse.. This union was short-lived: the great age difference and the debauchery of the young husband were the cause of their divorce two years later..
On Whit Sunday, June 8, 979, his father Lothair associated him with the throne, and had him crowned at the Abbey of Saint-Corneille in Compiègne by Adalbéron, Archbishop of Reims.. His deceased father (March 2, 986), Louis V, only had time to summon an assembly of Franks at Compiègne. This court is to judge the Archbishop of Reims Adalberon, who supported Otto II in his quarrel against Lothair.. However, the day before the meeting, on May 22, 987, Louis V died from a fall from his horse during a hunting party on the lands of Hugh Capet in the Halatte forest near Senlis.. He is buried in the Abbey of Saint-Corneille in Compiègne.
The assembly which met the following June in Senlis chose a new king by electing Hugh Capet, eldest son of Hugh the Great..

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.
