The Liberes of Navarre under the Good King Henry III

3 Comments / Donapaleu Mint, Henry III (1572-1610), Kingdom of Navarre /

In this blog dedicated to Basque coinage, we have not yet talked about Henry III. Today, we will talk about Henry's coinage, or rather about a short period of his coinage. There is much to talk about Henry's life; after being King of Navarre from 1572 to 1589, from that year he became King of France and Navarre. But being a Higanote,

The carlin and cornados of the so-called Bernart Lonjuhac of the Beguinage. Addendum

1 Comment / Blanche I and John II (1425-1441), Kingdom of Navarre /

When I publish a blog entry, I look back and take a final look at the topic I published. In this one, when I talked about Sancho Iturbide and his Carlins, I regretted that I had left out Bernart Lonjuhac. I stopped to look at the second manuscript sent by the Royal Archives of Navarre, which shows us the agreement between Bernart and the royal court. This one still

The Carlinas of Navarre by Sancho Iturbide

6 Comments / Blanche I and John II (1425-1441), Kingdom of Navarre /

I haven't published any new entries lately, I've been a bit lazy or more than lazy about the many problems and headaches, I've had a hard time focusing on the vast amount of material I'm working on. Actually, I've been researching the coins of the Prince of Viana, but while I was doing that, another anecdote has directed my work. Don Johan por la gra de Dios Rey de Navarra

Peruvian Silver Scam in Navarre

4 Comments / Philip VI (1621-1665), Pamplona Mint, Kingdom of Navarre /

At the end of the 1640s, a great scandal spread throughout the Spanish kingdoms and, to a large extent, throughout all European territories. The coins of 8 and 4 reales brought annually from the territories of Peru by the ships of the Indies did not comply with the required silver weight and laws. The reales had a legal value of about 931 thousandths of silver at that time (11 dinars and 4 grains) and, according to the legislation, the real

The Last Nine Issues of Donapaleu

3 Comments / Donapaleu Mint, Louis III (1643-1715), Kingdom of Navarre /

Last week, we watched the Argentine film “Nueve Reinas” at home with our children. In this film, they tell the story of nine extraordinary stamps from the Weimar Republic. I was wondering, does Basque coinage have its own nine queens? Yes, sir, but in this case, we should call them nine kings! The name of the Dutch sculptor and engraver Jean Warin is famous and honored.

The Reflection of the Navarrese Problem in Coinage – Part 2

3 Comments / Kingdom of Navarre /

In the first section, we examined the division of the kingdom caused by the invasion and conquest of Ferdinand the Forger and how both in the North, the Labrit family and their Bourbon descendants, and in the South, the Trastamara family and their Austrian descendants, attempted to reinforce the message of legitimacy of power through the coins they minted. The Peace Treaty of the Pyrenees (1659) had another unexpected consequence, the daughter of Louis XIV and Philip IV

The Reflection of the Navarrese Problem in Coinage – Part 1

3 Comments / Kingdom of Navarre /

It should already be known that the King of Aragon, called Ferdinand the Catholic, attacked and conquered the Kingdom of Navarre in July 1512. The attack was carried out with troops from the Kingdom of Castile, although we should call Ferdinand the usurper, since he was also the viceroy of his daughter Queen Juana in the Kingdom of Castile. Initially, Ferdinand forged a papal bull to justify his attack.
