History is more likely to have been `adapted' to meet the way the catholic church wanted it to be told it than anything else. In the absence of...
Some nice stuff for sale there. Useful site which I have bookmarked for reference purposes. Thanks for sharing. Ian
The `fleur de lis' has been associated with French kings ever since it's use in the crowning ceremony of Clovis I. It has been seen as a symbol of...
In all honesty I don't know offhand whether he visited Britain or not. He may very well have, but if he did I think it highly unlikely that he...
That's a nice coin...and that is a very informative site. Thanks for that. I got my Hugues V denier yesterday (Dijon mint same as yours). It's...

Gosh...that makes reading these legends much easier ;) I've found three for sale, all of which are currently in France. One is priced right for...
Well there is no doubting that point, that's for sure. :) He's one i've still got to cross off my hit list. There wasn't that many coins issued...
