This coin probably belongs to the last twenty years of the production of this coinage, between 735 and 749, and therefore to the reign of Ealdwulf’s successor Aelfwald. Two named moneyers, Tilberht and Wigraed, were operating in Aelfwald’s reign; Wigraed possibly at Gipeswic, and Tilberht at Thetford.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1204527[/ATTACH]</p><p>EARLY MEDIEVAL, Anonymous.

He lost the Duchy of Normandy and most of his other French lands to King Philip II of France, resulting in the collapse of the Angevin Empire and contributing to the subsequent growth in power of the French Capetian dynasty during the 13th century. The baronial revolt at the end of John&#039;s reign led to the sealing of Magna Carta, a document sometimes considered an early step in the evolution of the constitution of the United Kingdom.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1204529[/ATTACH]</p><p>BRITTAIN, Henry III.
