Context
Marie of Blois was the widow of Duke Raoul of Lorraine, who died in the Battle of Crecy (1346), along with Marie's brother, Count Louis II of Blois. In his will, Raoul had stipulated that in the event of his death, Marie serve as regent during the minority of their infant son, for as long as she remained unmarried. As she remarried in 1348, this enables dating of coins issued in Marie's name to 1346-1348.
