Comments

Charles, Cardinal de Bourbon and uncle of the king, was chosen as the legitimate king by the Ligueurs, who opposed the coronation of Henri IV. But he died in 1590, and coinage in his name was limited. Several workshops continued to mint in the name of the deceased King Henri III, long after his death. This League coinage in Henri III's name ceased when Toulouse was recaptured by Henri IV on January 24, 1596.Automatically translated
