Coins of France

Anglo-Gallic, Henry VI de Lancastre, King of France and England, 1422 - 1453

In 1422, the year old king of England inherited the French throne through his mad grandfather Charles VI of France; the iconography of this type represents the unification of the two nations. Ten years later Joan of Arc would make an appearance which would eventually loosen the English grip on France until by 1436 only Normandy and part of Maine remained in Henry's control.SH87710.

France, Kingdom of Navarre and Viscountcy of B�arn, Henri III of Navarre (II of B�arn), 1572 - 1610

Henry IV of France, also known as "Good King Henry," was King of Navarre (Henry III) from 1572 and Viscount of B�arn (Henry II) from 1572. Upon the death of his brother-in-law and distant cousin Henry III of France, Henry was called to the French succession in 1589. He initially kept the Protestant faith but after four years and at least 12 assassination attempts, he abjured the Calvinist faith. He promulgated the Edict of Nantes in 1598, guaranteeing religious freedom and ending the Wars of Religion. He was assassinated in 1610 by a fanatical Catholic. Unpopular immediately after his accession, Henry's popularity greatly improved after his death. The "Good King Henry" (le bon roi Henri) was remembered for his geniality and his great concern about the welfare of his subjects. Henry is said to have originated the oft-repeated phrase, "a chicken in every pot."WO88341. Silver teston, Duplessy F�odales 1313, Boudeau 604, Poey d'Avant 3471 & pl. LXXIV, 9 corr.
