Historical background
TOURAINE - TOURS - ABBEY OF SAINT-MARTIN DE TOURS
(11th century)
The abbey of Saint-Martin was founded around 590. Feudal coinage began there at the end of the 10th century with the head of Saint-Martin as the monetary type. The count of Maine and Anjou, Henri Plantagenêt, seems to have been a lay abbot of Saint-Martin. Taking the pretext of the assassination of Arthur of Brittany in 1203, Philippe Auguste proclaimed in 1204 the clerk of all the possessions of Jean-sans-Terre, the assassin of the young Arthur, including Saint-Martin de Tours.
