<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bart, post: 266414, member: 5580&quot;]Just to give some extra information: Liege was a powerful prince-bishopry in the Southern Netherlands which was laying out of the Habsburg lands. In fact, it was ruled for ages by the Wittelsbach family, the ruling family of Bavaria. The prince-bishopry stayed independent until 1795, when it was occupied by French Revolutionary troops and incorporated in what would become later the kingdom of Belgium.</p><p>The legends on your coin stand for I(ohannes) THEOD(orus) CAR(dinalem) D(ei) G(ratia) BAV(ariae) D(ux) EP(iscopus) ET PRIN(ceps) LEO(dinium) DUX B(ullionensis) M(arquis) F(ranchimontis) C(omes) L(ossensis et) H(orniensis) and mean : John Theodore,cardinal, by the grace of God duke of Bavaria, bishop and prince of Liege, duke of Bouillon, marquis of Franchimont, count of Loon and Horn.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
