Louis II of Vaud information


A double tournois, worth two deniers tournois, an imitation of a style of Philip VI of France (1328–50), minted by Louis II, whose father had obtained the right to mint coin from the emperor-elect.

Louis II (1283/94[a] – 1348/49), son of Louis I of Vaud of the House of Savoy, was the Baron of Vaud from 1302 until his death. A military man, he fought widely in Italy and, during the first phase of the Hundred Years' War, in France. As a diplomat he visited England and the papal court in Rome and Avignon, and he served as regent of the County of Savoy between 1343 and his death, during which period he was the leader of the House of Savoy.
