50 H. ENNO VAN GELDER SUMMARY The Utrecht Coinage during the Reign of Bishop David of Burgundy. Under strong pressure of Philip Duke of Burgundy, his natural son David was appointed bishop of Utrecht in 1456. At first David's position was weak, but he was able to strengthen it gradually. Around 1470 he could pursue a vigorous and independent policy, also in monetary affairs. This situation was abruptly changed by the death of Charles the Bold, Duke of Burgundy, in 1477, when a revolt broke out in the Burgundian Netherlands. Also David's temporal domains rebelled against him, which resulted in a civil war between the town of Utrecht and the bishop in 1482-1483. His authority could only be restored when Archduke Maximilian came to his assistance with troops. In his later regnal years till his death in 1496 bishop David was greaily dependent on Burgundian support. Analysis of the rates of the Rhenish guilder in Utrecht and Deventer accounts shows that the development of the value of the bishop's coins runs practically parallel to that of the coins struck in the Burgundian Netherlands. At first a light, very gradual, decrease in value of the silver coins can be observed, but after 1474 the debasement develops at a rapid rate, until in 1490, a few weeks after the Burgundian revaluation, the coinage of Utrecht is considerably strengthened again. Details about weight and fineness of the coins struck by the bishop have been extracted from a series of unpublished instructions to moneyers in the episcopal archives. A reconstruction of the coin series struck at Rhenen and Wijk-bij-Duurstede by order of bishop David is here made on the basis of the above data, which are supported by facts derived from the study of hoards, from rates of exchange recorded in municipal tariffs, and comparison of coin types. In addition a survey is given of the coins struck by order of the town of Utrecht in the same period. Since the 14th century the town had had the right to strike coins of small denominations. During the war of 1482-1483 it also struck larger denominations, partly in its own name, partly in the name of Engelbert of Cleves whom the rebels had appointed regent of the bishop's domains.
