<p>[QUOTE=&quot;+VGO.DVCKS, post: 7641960, member: 110504&quot;]([USER=56653]@seth77[/USER], and /or anyone else listening, this is a remarkably erudite post.&nbsp; ...For one, it goes a considerable distance in explaining why (you/) [USER=56653]@seth77[/USER] started to &#039;ignore&#039; me during an earlier scuffle in the &#039;Medieval Monday!&#039; thread, regarding tournois issues of Guillaume de Villehardouin as Prince of Achaea.&nbsp; ...From memory, the crux of it was about secondary sources and hoard evidence vs. primary sources; and the undisputedly varying value of the latter.&nbsp; Wish he&#039;d just linked to this thread; that would&#039;ve gone some distance toward helping me to appreciate how deeply invested he is in the series --in dramatic contrast to yours truly.)</p><p><br /></p><p>[USER=107503]@VD76[/USER], just very impressionistically, I&#039;m wondering if the reverse of your example could be reducible to a later blundering of the mint, Glarentza /&#039;CLARENTIA.&#039;&nbsp; Yes, geographically anachronistic.</p><p>(Pre-post edit: ) --Woops, [USER=56653]@seth77[/USER] already beat me to <i>all </i>of this! But Malloy&#039;s prefatory discussion on the Duchy of Athens is worth a read.&nbsp; Only thing I would add is that the lettering style, with the &#039;Lombardic&#039; Cs, Ds (reversed in the reverse legend), and Es, strongly evokes the mid-late 14th century.&nbsp; Whatever it is, it&#039;s likely to postdate Gui II.&nbsp; --Nope, he beat me to that, too!</p><p>Anyway, from here, it was fun to trot out Malloy, about a series I&#039;ve never spent much time with.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
