Comment
Godefroid III battled Emperor Henry III and Henry IV for his right to rule Lower Lotharingia until the death of Frederick of Luxembourg in 1065. Meanwhile, he retained his position of Lord of Bouillon.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier - Godfrey III ND (1050-1069) from Lordship of Bouillon (Bouillon, French States) made of Silver weighing 1.05 g is that it features an image of Godfrey III, who was the Count of Bouillon and a prominent military leader during the Middle Ages. The coin was minted during his reign, which lasted from 1050 to 1069, and it was used as a form of currency throughout the Lordship of Bouillon, which was a region in what is now modern-day France. Despite its age, the coin remains a valuable piece of history and a sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
