[QUOTE="Ian, post: 22325, member: 283"]I thought that was what you meant but took the soft option :-) Bear in mind that Henry (Earl of Northumberland and Huntingdon) died before his father and as such never succeeded to the Scottish throne. As such all of Henry's coinage was struck in England for use in England. They are classed as Scottish basically because at that time Northumberland was to all intents and purposes `Scottish', and Henry was Scottish. The coinage circulated alongside that of David I and were struck at Carlisle, Corbridge and (according to Mark Davidson) possibly Bamborough. I suspect that is why you will find some cataloguers listing them under `England' and some under `Scotland'. The issues are all aparently one and the same (politically / geographically speaking) although there were different type issues.[/QUOTE]
