Comments

Maximilien de Berghes was a Belgian ecclesiastic who became the first archbishop of Cambrai.
On May 12, 1559, with the bull "Super universas", Emperor Ferdinand I erected Cambrai as an archbishopric, with four suffragan bishoprics: Arras, Tournai, Namur and Saint-Omer.
Nevertheless, the reorganization of the bishoprics of the Spanish Netherlands removed a significant part of its territory to the benefit of the new dioceses of Mechelen and Antwerp. He retained only four archdeaconries: Cambrai, Brabant, Hainaut and Valenciennes.
Maximilian de Berghes coined daldres in the name of Ferdinand I (1556-1559-1564), then in the name of his son Maximilian II from 1564 to 1570.

This is an automatic translation. The original text is:

Maximilien de Berghes est un ecclésiastique belge qui devient le premier archevêque de Cambrai.
Le 12 mai 1559, par la bulle "Super universas" l'empereur Ferdinand Ier érigea Cambrai en archevêché, avec quatre évêchés suffragants : Arras, Tournai, Namur, Saint-Omer.
Néanmoins la réorganisation des évêchés des Pays-Bas espagnols lui retira une partie importante de son territoire au profit des nouveaux diocèses de Malines et d'Anvers. Il ne conserva que quatre archidiaconés : Cambrai, Brabant, Hainaut et Valenciennes.
Maximilien de Berghes a monnayé des daldres au nom de Ferdinand Ier (1556-1559-1564), puis au nom de son fils Maximilien II de 1564 à 1570.
