Comment

House of Plantagenet, Edward III (1327-77), Fourth coinage (1351-77), Treaty period (1361-69), Calais mint.
The inclusion of France in the royal title was ceased under the Treaty of Bretigny from 1361 until 1369, when the French title was resumed. In the 8 years between, the title included Aquitaine, or no reference to France at all.
