Comments

Saint-Aignan belonged to Thibaut le Tricheur. If the first coinage is of the bléso-chartrain type, that of the second half of the XIIth century is inspired by the primitive castle of Saint-Martin deTours. Thibaut IV, Count of Blois, had seized the seigneury of Saint-Aignan from Geoffrey III. The coinage could take again under Hervé III of Donzy. The family of Donzy also possessed Gien. After the death of Hervé IV de Donzy in 1222, Saint-Aignan passed to Guy de Châtillon who married Agnès de Donzy.Automatically translated
