Rare coin in this state. Ex CGF, 30th December 2000, lot 910. Alienor's coinage is anonymous and is known only from denier of this type and obols (Elias 12). Alienor was the daughter of the last Duke of Aquitaine and Poitou; she was born around 1122. In 1137, when she was just fifteen, she married Louis of France, the future Louis VII, and brought Guyenne, Gascony, Saintonge and Poitou as her dowry. In 1152 Louis VII had his marriage annulled at the Council of Beaugency, and Alienor remarried less than six weeks later to Henry of Plantagenet, Count of Anjou and Duke of Normandy, who became King of England in 1154 under the name Henry II. She lived in Aquitaine and formed a court. After trying to incite her sons against their father, Henry II had her committed to a convent in Salisbury; she was not released until 1189, at the time of the accession of her son Richard Lionheart. She took over the government when Richard Lionheart left for the Third Crusade. On his return, she retired to Fontevrault Abbey, where she died in 1204. Her recumbent statue is still preserved in the abbey.

For this type of denier, inspiration was taken from the denier of Louis VII when he was King of France and Duke of Aquitaine (Dy.155), and it was minted between 1137 and 1152. Both Henry and Louis inherited Aquitaine from their wife, Alienor of Aquitaine (1122-1204). Henry Plantagenet, Duke of Nomandy, Count of Anjou, Maine and Touraine, married Alienor of Aquitaine, the wife, just repudiated by King Louis VII of France. Henri thus became Duke of Aquitaine and Count of Poitou. In 1154, he inherited the throne of England and became the most powerful lord in the West. In 1169, he left the administration of Aquitaine to his son Richard the Lionheart (1169-1199).

An evenly worn specimen on a wide, slightly irregular flan. Ex CGF, 26 July 1999, lot 815. Henry III (1216-1272) entrusted the Duchy of Aquitaine to his son Edward from 1252. By the Treaty of Paris in 1259, the King of England and his son agreed to acknowledge the King of France, Louis IX, as their sovereign and to pay tribute to him for Aquitaine, bringing the first Hundred Years' War to an end. The legend on the coin can be translated as follows: Edward son of Henry king of England. The Aquitanian title does not appear on this denarius. Edward Plantegenet (1239-1307) was the eldest son of Henry III (1216-1272) and Eleonore de Provence. He was first Duke of Aquitaine (1252-1272) and married Eleonore of Castile, who died in 1290. In his second marriage he married Marguerite de France, the daughter of Philip III the Bold (+1317). He paid tribute for Guyenne and Aquitaine and recovered the territories lost at the Treaty of Paris in 1259. After the annexation of Wales, Eduard I made his son Edward the first Prince of Wales, a title subsequently borne by all the Kingdom's heirs. Edward fought against the Scots and defeated them in 1296 and 1298. At the end of his reign, he was faced with the rise of Robert Bruce (1306-1329). The other enemy was Philip IV the Fair, who tried to counter the influence of the Plantagenets in Aquitaine. Philip's daughter Isabella married Edward's son, the future Edward II.

Edward the Black Prince (1330-1376) was the eldest son of Edward III Plantagenet and Philippa of Hainaut. He took up arms for the first time at the Battle of Crecy in 1346, where he was greatly impressed by the chivalrous attitude of John the Blind, King of Bohemia, who preferred to die rather than suffer the shame of defeat. His heraldic arms will be ostrich feathers, which the King of Bohemia already wore. Edward the Black Prince was in Aquitaine in 1355 and began a campaign in Poitou the following year. He crushed the French at Poitiers and took King John the Good prisoner. The Treaty of Bretigny in May 1360 confirmed the independence of Aquitaine. Edward became its first prince in 1362. He arrived in Bordeaux in 1363. War with France resumed in 1369. After the first English defeats in Aquitaine, the Black Prince returned to England in 1371 and the following year renounced his principality. He died in 1376.

The hardi “d'argent “was created at the same time as the hardi “d'or” and must have been struck at the same time as the second issue of the “demi-gros” and the “esterlin” d'Aquitaine. Edward the Black Prince (1330-1376) was the eldest son of Edward III Plantagenet and Philippa of Hainaut. He took up arms for the first time at the Battle of Crecy in 1346, where he was greatly impressed by the chivalrous attitude of John the Blind, King of Bohemia, who preferred to die rather than suffer the shame of defeat. His heraldic arms will be ostrich feathers, which the King of Bohemia already wore. Edward the Black Prince was in Aquitaine in 1355 and began a campaign in Poitou the following year. He crushed the French at Poitiers and took King John the Good prisoner. The Treaty of Bretigny in May 1360 confirmed the independence of Aquitaine. Edward became its first prince in 1362. He arrived in Bordeaux in 1363. War with France resumed in 1369. After the first English defeats in Aquitaine, the Black Prince returned to England in 1371 and the following year renounced his principality. He died in 1376. His father Edward III died the following year. Richard II, son of the Black Prince, ascended the throne.
