Could I mmmMaybe have dispensation to play some catch-up? Bishopric of Metz. Jean d'Apremont, 1224-1238. Obv. Jean, mitered, holding crozier. (From 1 o'clock: IOhA[NN...] E [...] S. Rev. Cross; stars and crescents in angles. (From 9 o'clock:) METEN[SIS]. Boudeau 1629 (...Nope, not in Duplessy yet). The memoirist Jean de Joinville notes that, before leaving for Louis IX's first crusade (in Louis's retinue), "I did not wish to take away with me any penny wrongfully gotten[;] therefore I went to Metz, in Lorraine, and placed in pawn the geater part of my land." (Marzials, trans., Memoirs of the Crusades (1958), p. 164.) This is precisely how the Crusades bankrupted that much of the western European aristocracy, contributing to the concentration of royal power over the later medieval period. Here's a seal of Jean, with his castle on the reverse. He goes on to say that, on his departure, "never [...] would I turn my eyes towards Joinville for fear that my heart should melt within me at thought of the fair castle I was leaving behind, and my two children" (166). Edited February 20, 2023 by JeandAcre OUCH! This is the bishop just before Jacques de Lorraine, the contemporary of Joinville. Blame it on too much real life. 11 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeandAcre Posted February 18, 2023 · Member Share Posted February 18, 2023 ...For 1250-1300, here's a cut voided long cross halfpenny of Carlisle, Cumbria, a conspicuously rare mint. With cordial thanks to @TheRed. Henry III. Voided long cross, class 3b (Oops: 1248-50.) Obv. Henry facing, crowned. [hENRICV]S REX III. Rev. ION [ON CAR]LEL. North 987; Pl. 20, 17 for class; p. 228 for mint and moneyer. I have to like how, for a cut half, this one happens to catch enough of both the mint and moneyer. As did @TheRed, before he managed to cop a whole penny. For castles, I've already posted the one at Carlisle for something else. Nearer to this period is the neighboring one of Brougham, largely built by the Cliffords during the reign of Edward I (1272-1307). Starting with a conventional square keep, this was 'retrofitted' to incorporate some of the dramatic architectural advances seen in Edward I's castles in Wales. The keep (center right) was complemented by a double gatehouse. Each of the three components communicated with each other, allowing for active defense, by way of sorties from one part of the complex to another. This in dramatic contrast to the traditional passive defense common to the keep-and-bailey castles of the Norman and early Angevin periods. Funly, despite this, the keep retained its residential function; an upper floor was added in the same period (from 1296) that the gatehouses were being built. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheRed Posted February 19, 2023 · Member Share Posted February 19, 2023 Thanks for the shout-out @JeandAcre I really was pleased for that halfpenny to end up in your collection. I'll a couple of Edward I pennies that come from the London mint. Both belong to class 1c, which was struck in 1279, and represent the first large scale minting of the new style penny of Edward. 8 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
