<p>[QUOTE=&quot;+VGO.DVCKS, post: 7940375, member: 110504&quot;]...Right, only since I still can&#039;t shut up, there&#039;s this, posted not long ago.</p><p>Francia, Hugues Capet, 987-996.&nbsp; Denier, coissued with Herve, bishop of Beauvais.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1374297[/ATTACH]</p><p>[ATTACH=full]1374298[/ATTACH]</p><p>Obv. (from 11 o&#039;clock): HERVEVS HVGO REX (The bishop, followed by Hugues.)</p><p>Rev. (weirdly, as above): degraded Carolingian monogram.&nbsp; BELVACVS CIVITAS.</p><p><br /></p><p>One thing I need about this is the way that it illustrates just how tenuous Capetian rule was at this point.&nbsp; With more than one comital family of Carolingian descent in the immediate neighborhood, the political future of the dynasty was hanging by a thread.&nbsp; The mere fact that this is an episcopal coissue, the first of the reign that Duplessy bothers to list (<u>Royales</u> 1999, No. 1),&nbsp; gives the combined dynamics the emphasis they deserve.</p><p>Right. So the song.&nbsp; Me am thinking this kind of that kind of thing.&nbsp; What&#039;s me said.</p><p>[MEDIA=youtube]5RaE0KbbNsg[/MEDIA][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
