Historical background
VENDÔMOIS - COUNTY OF VENDÔME - FOULQUES L'OISON
(1050-1066)
The reign of Foulques l'Oison is inserted between those of Geoffroy Martel (1020-1031) and Bouchard IV (1066-1085) under the tutelage of Guy de Nevers. The attribution of Vendôme coins to Foulques l'Oison is based solely on the Vernou treasury (Vernon, Dy. I/372), buried between 1060 and 1108. The S type seems to mark the end of Vendôme coinage around 1165. No coins seem to be attributable to the three counts who succeeded Foulques l'Oison: Bouchard IV (1066-1085), Geoffroy Jourdain (1085-1102) and Geoffroy Grisegonelle (1102-1136). The coinage of Vendôme would reappear under Jean I (1136-1192).
