Guillaume IV, Count of Nevers, died on October 24, 1168, shortly after arriving in the Holy Land. He was succeeded by his brother Gui I. He died in 1175, leaving the county to his son Guillaume V who, too young to rule, was placed under the guardianship of his mother Mathilde of Burgundy.

S'étant croisé, le comte de Nevers Guillaume IV trouva la mort le 24 octobre 1168, peu de temps après son arrivée en Terre Sainte. Son frère Gui Ier lui succéda. Il mourut en 1175 laissant le comté à son fils Guillaume V qui, trop jeune pour gouverner, fut placé sous la tutelle de sa mère Mathilde de Bourgogne.

Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin Denier - Guy I ND (1168-1175) from County of Nevers (French States) made of Billon weighing 0.67 g is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in France. The coin was issued during the reign of King Guy I, who ruled the County of Nevers from 1168 to 1175. During this period, the use of billon, a type of alloy made from a mixture of silver and other metals, was becoming increasingly common in coinage. This coin, made of billon and weighing 0.67 grams, would have been used in everyday transactions and would have been an important part of the local economy. Despite its small size and relatively low value, this coin is a fascinating piece of history that provides insight into the economic and political conditions of medieval France.
