A later Occitan cross, used in the early 1250s on the denier tournois of Alphonse de France as Count of Toulouse on a coinage of the Marquisat:...
Thank you for the details, @+VGO.DVCKS I had been under the impression that Boudeau #1751 was an earlier series (ca. 977 to around 990) while...
Raoul de Clermont-Nesle was one of the generals who followed Louis IX to Tunis in the Eighth Crusade, and later on he served kings Philip III and...
