Today in Low Countries, Feudal, we have an issuing authority called "Lordship of Rumigny."

I think this should be changed to "Lordship of Rummen" or we need to add Lordship of Rummen. I am pretty sure this is not just French/Dutch names for the same place.

I believe the Lordship of Rumigny was the Rumigny in the Ardennes region, and this place is now in France near the Belgian border. The Lords of Rumigny were also Lords of Florennes, a place that is near Namur, Belgium. This may be the cause of the confusion. A quick look in acsearch under Rumigny does not turn up any coins that are attributed to such a ruling authority.

The Lordship of Rummen was a place in today's northern Belgium, roughly mid-way between Brussels and Maastricht, probably placing it on the border (at that time) between the Duchy of Brabant and Prince-Bishopric of Liege.
The coin we currently have in this section- https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces148460.html
turns up in searches "Lordship of Rummen" (not Rumigny) https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces148460.html

Meanwhile, I am adding coins to the current section assuming it will just be a name change to the issuing authority (and if not, I will submit the needed changes).

I just renamed this. It is still searchable by Rumigny as well. <:D
