*The abbey of Saint-Médard de Soissons, already a favorite of Charlemagne, was also a top-ranking abbey for Louis the Pious, and received his favor by being granted the right to mint coins and by not being subject to any pecuniary or military contributions, unlike other abbeys in the Empire. Raoul I went on crusade with Philippe-Auguste in 1189.
