(Extremely Fine.)

Guillaume de Wittelsbach était le fils de l'empereur Louis IV de Bavière et de Marguerite II d'Avesnes, héritière des comtés de Hainaut, Hollande et Zélande. Guillaume hérita de la Bavière à la mort de Louis IV en 1347 et s'opposa ensuite violemment à sa mère pour le gouvernement de la Hollande et de la Zélande qui lui furent finalement cédées en 1354. Il hérita du Hainaut en 1356 à la mort de Marguerite. Dès 1358, le jeune comte commença à manifester des signes d'aliénation mentale avant de sombrer dans la démence. Il fut interné au château du Quesnoy où il résida jusqu'à sa mort, la régence étant exercée par son frère Albert de Bavière. Ce splendide franc à pied est une imitation du type français créé le 20 avril 1365. Soucieux de doter son royaume d'une monnaie forte et stable, Charles V ordonna la frappe de ce "denier d'or aux fleurs de lis" en or fin (24 carats) et taillé à 64 au marc de Troyes, soit une masse théorique de 3,83 g. Il avait cours pour une livre de monnaie de compte, comme le franc à cheval frappé précédemment, et fut de ce fait rapidement appelé franc à pied. Outre ses légendes, le type hennuyer se distingue au droit du type royal par le semé de lions dans le champ et le long sceptre au lieu de la main de justice. Au revers, les lis de France ont été remplacés par des aigles d'empire. Le deuxième exemplaire connu après celui du Cabinet des Médailles de Bruxelles et le seul en collection privée. Provient de notre vente 123, 6 décembre 2014, 545. (William of Wittelsbach was the son of Emperor Louis IV of Bavaria and Margaret II of Avesnes, heiress to the counties of Hainaut, Holland, and Zeeland. William inherited Bavaria upon the death of Louis IV in 1347 and then violently opposed his mother over the government of Holland and Zeeland, which were finally ceded to him in 1354. He inherited Hainaut in 1356 upon the death of Margaret. From 1358, the young count began to show signs of mental illness before descending into dementia. He was interned at the Château du Quesnoy, where he resided until his death, with his brother Albert of Bavaria exercising the regency. This splendid franc à pied is an imitation of the French type created on April 20, 1365. Keen to provide his kingdom with a strong and stable currency, Charles V of France ordered the minting of this "gold denier with fleurs-de-lis" in fine gold (24 carats) and weighing 64 per marc de Troyes, giving a theoretical mass of 3.83 g. It was valid for one pound of account money, like the franc à cheval minted previously, and was therefore quickly called the franc à pied. In addition to its legends, the Hainaut type is distinguished on the obverse from the royal type by the semé of lions in the field and the long scepter instead of the hand of justice. On the reverse, the lilies of France have been replaced by imperial eagles. The second known example after that of the Cabinet des Médailles in Brussels and the only one in a private collection. From our sale 123, December 6, 2014, lot 545.)"

La vie de Jean de Bavière est un véritable roman. Il était le fils cadet d'Albert de Bavière, comte de Hainaut, de Hollande et de Zélande, et le petit-fils de l'empereur Louis de Bavière. À peine âgé de 17 ans, il fut choisi pour succéder à Arnould de Hornes dans l'évêché de Liège. Il s'attira rapidement l'hostilité de ses sujets, d'autant plus qu'il refusait de prendre les ordres pour devenir évêque. Au bout de quelques années d'un règne agité, il dut se retirer à Maastricht (1402) alors que les autres villes choisissaient Henri de Perwez, sire de Hornes, comme mambour. Sa déchéance fut même proclamée à Liège en 1406. Le fils du mambour, Thierry de Perwez, fut choisi comme évêque et ses troupes assiégèrent Maastricht dans l'hiver 1407-1408. La maison de Bavière ne pouvait tolérer ces humiliations : l'élu fut secouru par son frère, Guillaume IV de Hainaut, et par son beau-frère, Jean sans Peur. La bataille décisive eut lieu près de Tongres, dans la plaine d'Othée, en septembre 1408. Les rebelles furent écrasés, huit mille Liégeois périrent dans la bataille, dont le mambour et son fils. Après sa restauration, Jean de Bavière ordonna de terribles représailles qui lui valurent le surnom de Jean sans Pitié. La veuve du mambour fut même précipitée dans la Meuse. L'élu gouverna ensuite la principauté en maître absolu jusqu'à ce que son frère, Guillaume IV de Hainaut, meure en 1417 sans héritier mâle. Jean de Bavière conçut alors le projet de s'emparer de l'héritage de sa nièce Jacqueline. Il abdiqua de l'évêché de Liège et parvint à se faire reconnaître comme comte de Hainaut, de Hollande, de Zélande et de Frise par l'empereur Sigismond dont il épousa la nièce, Élisabeth de Görlitz, veuve d'Antoine de Bourgogne et engagiste du duché de Luxembourg. Il s'entendit ensuite avec Jean IV de Brabant, l'époux de Jacqueline de Bavière, qui lui céda, malgré l'opposition de sa femme et des États de Brabant, la Hollande, la Zélande et la Frise (1420). Jacqueline de Bavière, qui conservait le Hainaut, se sépara alors de son mari et rechercha l'alliance du roi d'Angleterre en épousant son frère, le duc de Gloucester. Elle revint ensuite sur le continent à la tête d'une armée anglaise pour tenter de reconquérir son héritage (octobre 1423). Jean de Bavière, qui tenait encore la Hollande, mourut sur ces entrefaites à Delft, sans héritier (janvier 1424). Sa mort ne mit pas fin au conflit car Jacqueline se trouvait désormais en guerre avec Jean IV de Brabant qui revendiquait à son tour ses états au titre de son mari légitime et reçut même l'appui du duc de Bourgogne, Philippe le Bon, qui ne voulait pas voir la maison d'Angleterre s'implanter dans les Pays-Bas. L'armée brabançonne envahit la Hollande puis s'attaqua au Hainaut alors que Jacqueline était abandonnée à son sort par Humphrey de Gloucester, retourné en Angleterre. Elle n'eut d'autre recours que de demander la protection de Philippe le Bon, son cousin et son plus proche héritier, qui s'arrogea le gouvernement de la Hollande et de la Zélande avec le titre de ruwaart tandis que Jean IV gardait l'administration du Hainaut jusqu'à sa mort (1427). Tous les anciens états de la maison de Bavière se trouvèrent alors sous l'autorité de Philippe le Bon, qui obligea Jacqueline à abdiquer en sa faveur en 1433. Ce rarissime écu d'or fut frappé au début du règne de Jean de Bavière et est une fidèle imitation de la couronne d'or frappée en Hainaut par son père Albert de Bavière. Les armes sont identiques, seule la légende du droit diffère mais elle débute par DEI de façon à accentuer la ressemblance avec le type hennuyer dont la légende débute par DVX. (The life of John of Bavaria is a true novel. He was the younger son of Albert of Bavaria, Count of Hainaut, Holland, and Zeeland, and the grandson of Emperor Louis of Bavaria. Barely 17 years old, he was chosen to succeed Arnould de Hornes in the bishopric of Liège. He quickly attracted the hostility of his subjects, especially since he refused to take holy orders to become a bishop. After a few years of a troubled reign, he was forced to retire to Maastricht (1402) while the other cities chose Henri de Perwez, Lord of Hornes, as bishop. His deposition was even proclaimed in Liège in 1406. The bishop's son, Thierry de Perwez, was chosen as bishop, and his troops besieged Maastricht in the winter of 1407-1408. The House of Bavaria could not tolerate these humiliations: the chosen one was rescued by his brother, William IV of Hainaut, and his brother-in-law, John the Fearless. The decisive battle took place near Tongeren, on the Plain of Othée, in September 1408. The rebels were crushed, and eight thousand Liège residents perished in the battle, including the mambour and his son. After his restoration, John of Bavaria ordered terrible reprisals that earned him the nickname John the Merciless. The mambour's widow was even thrown into the Meuse. The bishop-elect then ruled the principality as absolute master until his brother, William IV of Hainaut, died in 1417 without a male heir. John of Bavaria then conceived the plan to seize the inheritance of his niece Jacqueline. He abdicated the bishopric of Liège and managed to have himself recognized as Count of Hainaut, Holland, Zeeland and Friesland by Emperor Sigismund, whose niece, Elisabeth of Görlitz, widow of Anthony of Burgundy and indentured servant of the Duchy of Luxembourg, he married. He then came to an agreement with John IV of Brabant, the husband of Jacqueline of Bavaria, who, despite the opposition of his wife and the States of Brabant, ceded Holland, Zeeland and Friesland to him (1420). Jacqueline of Bavaria, who retained Hainaut, then separated from her husband and sought the alliance of the King of England by marrying his brother, the Duke of Gloucester. She then returned to the continent at the head of an English army to try to reconquer her inheritance (October 1423). John of Bavaria, who still held Holland, died in the meantime in Delft, without an heir (January 1424). His death did not end the conflict because Jacqueline was now at war with John IV of Brabant, who in turn claimed his states as her legitimate husband and even received the support of the Duke of Burgundy, Philip the Good, who did not want to see the House of England established in the Low Countries. The Brabant army invaded Holland and then attacked Hainaut while Jacqueline was abandoned to her fate by Humphrey of Gloucester, who had returned to England. She had no other recourse than to seek the protection of Philip the Good, her cousin and closest heir, who assumed the government of Holland and Zeeland with the title of ruwaart while John IV retained the administration of Hainaut until his death (1427). All the former states of the House of Bavaria were then under the authority of Philip the Good, who forced Jacqueline to abdicate in his favor in 1433. This extremely rare gold écu was struck at the beginning of the reign of John of Bavaria and is a faithful imitation of the gold crown struck in Hainaut by his father Albert of Bavaria. The arms are identical, only the legend on the obverse differs, but it begins with DEI in order to accentuate the resemblance to the Hainaut type whose legend begins with DVX.)"
