<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Nap, post: 2560335, member: 73099&quot;]Hi,</p><p>I&#039;m glad some of what I wrote was of help to you.</p><p><br /></p><p>I agree with your identity of your styca.&nbsp; Aldates only coined for Eanred, and is a fairly scarce moneyer, though not rare.&nbsp; It is thought that Aldates, Gadutels (or Ladutels), and Badigils (or Thadigils) were all variations of the same name.&nbsp; I&#039;m not sure I necessarily agree with the conclusion of the article, but it&#039;s worth a read (article starts on page 4):</p><p><a href="http://www.britnumsoc.org/publications/Digital%20BNJ/pdfs/2000_BNJ_70_14.pdf" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.britnumsoc.org/publications/Digital%20BNJ/pdfs/2000_BNJ_70_14.pdf" rel="nofollow">http://www.britnumsoc.org/publications/Digital BNJ/pdfs/2000_BNJ_70_14.pdf</a></p><p><br /></p><p>The next time I go through my Pirie book, I&#039;ll try to identify your die match, if there is one.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have to question one thing in the coin&#039;s description though- the suggestion that it was &quot;probably struck at Bamburgh castle&quot;.&nbsp; This is news to me, I have always been under the impression that all Northumbrian stycas were most likely struck at York, or, at least, there is no evidence to suggest that they were struck in quantity outside of York.&nbsp; Of course, &quot;evidence&quot; is a generous term, since data about this time period is extremely scant.&nbsp; The coin record is one of the most important links to this otherwise dimly lit medieval time.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
