<p>[QUOTE=&quot;+VGO.DVCKS, post: 7761784, member: 110504&quot;]Thanks, Donna.&nbsp; Here&#039;s a quote from the article, reemphasizing where I was going with this from the beginning.</p><p>&quot;Most of the coins found so far date from the rule of Louis the Pious, Charlemagne’s son, with only one minted under his grandson Charles the Bald, who ruled the western part of the Carolingian Empire and was in power during the Viking siege of Paris.</p><p>&quot;This, according to Stéphane Lebecq, an emeritus professor at the University of Lille in France and a leading expert in French medieval history, suggests that the stash had been “collected together at the beginning of Charles’s reign, so around 840-850, in the heart of his kingdom, which was situated in the Paris basin.”[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
