    Other Events and Attributes:

    • Accession: 992; Countess of Rennes Regent of Brittany (992-994) Countess of Angoulême

    Notes:

    Ermengarde-Gerberga was born c. 956, the daughter of Geoffrey I, Count of Anjou and Adele of Meaux. She married Conan I of Rennes, Count of Rennes, in 973. Her husband Conan of Rennes opposed her father and brother Fulk even though the marriage was apparently designed to form a political alliance between Anjou and Brittany. Even after Conan had been killed by Fulk at the Battle of Conquereuil in 992, and during the period 992-994 when Ermengarde was Regent for their son Geoffrey, she remained loyal to her brother Fulk III, Count of Anjou. In 992, following the interests of her brother, and functioning as Regent, she accepted Capetian over-lordship for Rennes while rejecting that of Odo I, Count of Blois.
    About 1000 her brother Fulk III arranged his widowed sister to marry, secondly, William II of Angoulême, one of his close allies.

    Notes:

    Fulk III - Count of Anjou "le Noir" ("the Black")

    Foulogues or Fulk, was the eldest son of Geoffrey I Grisonelle "Greymantle" and Adelaide of Vermandois, and grandson of Fulk II and Gerberga du Maine, Robert, Count Vermandois and Adelaide of Burgundy. He had three older sisters, Hermengarde, Gerberge and Adelaide, who married Dukes and Counts of Aquitaine, Brittany and Provence.

    Fulk married his cousin, Elisabeth de Vendôme and had one daughter, Adele. Little is known of either the mother or daughter except that Elizabeth fell from a great height and after was burnt at the stake for adultery in her wedding gown after being found with a goatherd in December of 999. This would become his most notorious act of evil. Adele married Bodon, the son of Landry, Count of Nevers. Her eldest son, Bouchard, would inherit Vendrome.

    Secondly, he married Hildegarde de Sundgau, the daughter of the Duke of Upper Lorraine, who was born in Jerusalem. They were married in 1005 and had two children:
    * Geoffroy II d'Anjou, the next Count of Anjou
    * Ermengarde-Blanche, her line leads to the Plantagenet Kings of England

    Fulk III was the founder of Angevin power, only fifteen when his father died and he succeeded as the Count of Anjou, and responsible for building an estimated one hundred castles. The first castle was the Chateau de Langeais east of Angers on the banks of the Loire, starting as a wooden tower replaced and fortified with stone, and included a dungeon. However, he built the castle on the property of his life long rival and bitter enemy, Odo II, the Count of Blois, who was Fulk's equal in temperament as well as determination. The two men exchanged "towns, followers and insults throughout their lives." Odo and Fulk fought over the castle in 994, Odo died suddenly of a heart attack, and his son, Odo II, did not manage to evict Fulk from his castle. On 6 July 1016, he defeated Odo II at the Battle of Pontlevoy. Fulk's next castles would follow an encirclement of Tours, one at a time, and fortified many others.

    He was known to be a natural horseman with an intense military mind that out smarted most of his combatants. He was a devout Christian, endowing or enlarging many abbeys and monasteries as well as a school for poor students although he himself never learned to write. These numerous pious foundations, however, followed many acts of violence against the church. Fulk built the great abbey at Beaulieu-lès-Loches and went on four pilgrimages to Jerusalem in an attempt to save his soul, seeking forgiveness for his many, many horrible sins.

    Fulk had a violent temperament, was partial to acts of extreme cruelty as well as penitence. One description of him revealed his darker side. "Fulk of Anjou, plunderer, murderer, robber, and swearer of false oaths, a truly terrifying character of fiendish cruelty, founded not one but two large abbeys. This Fulk was filled with unbridled passion, a temper directed to extremes. Whenever he had the slightest difference with a neighbor he rushed upon his lands, ravaging, pillaging, raping, and killing; nothing could stop him, least of all the commandments of God."

    Fulk fought against the claims of the counts of Rennes, defeating and killing his brother-in-law, Conan I of Rennes at the Battle of Conquereuil on 27 June 992. He then extended his power over the Counties of Maine and Touraine. In 1025, after capturing and burning the city of Saumur, Fulk reportedly cried, "Saint Florentius, let yourself be burned. I will build you a better home in Angers." However, when the transportation of the saint's relics to Angers proved difficult, Fulk declared that Florentius was a rustic lout unfit for the city, and sent the relics back to Saumur.

    Fulk died in Metz while returning from his last pilgrimage. He is buried in the chapel of his monastery at Beaulieu.

    Other Events and Attributes:

    • Accession: 1109; King of Jerusalem Count of Anjou Count of Touraine Count of Maine

    Notes:

    French Nobility. King of Jerusalem, Count of Anjou, Touraine and Maine, also known as Fulk V "The Young". He was the only son of Fulk IV "Le Rechin" of Anjou and his fifth wife Bertrade de Montfort, who left her husband to become first mistress and later wife of King Philipp. He succeeded his father in 1109 and continued the war with Maine that his father had started. He invaded it and in 1110 married Eremburge of Maine to strengthen his reign there. From this marriage he was father of Geoffrey, Isabel (wife of William "The Atheling"), Elias II, Count of Maine and Sibylle, (later wife of William Clito of Normandy and Count Thierry of Flanders). He reorganized the administration and signed peace settlements with the counties that surrounded his territory. In 1120 he joined the crusade where he made a name for himself, as being a good warrior. In 1127 he received a message from the king of Jerusalem, Baldwin II, who proposed a marriage between Fulk and Baldwins daughter and heiress, Melisende. He abdicated in Anjou in favor for his son Geoffrey and married Melisende in 1129. Baldwin gave him the cities Acre and Tyre. Melisende gave birth to a son who was named Baldwin and that was supposed to reign with his parents. After the kings death in 1131 they ruled together, but Fulk soon assumed control of the government and excluded her entirely. As he was also regent of Antioch he married the heiress Constance to Raymond of Poitiers, uncle of Eleonore of Aquitaine. The Count of Jaffa, Hugh II, a cousin of Melisende sided with her and rebelled against him. They later signed a peace contract and Hugh was exiled from the kingdom for 3 years. In 1135 the queen's party took over the government and Fulk's supporters fled. The couple reconciled later and she gave birth to a second son, Amalric. Fulk was able to strengthen the borders in the north and south and built several castles to secure the kingdom against the Muslims under Zengi and the Egyptians. He died during a hunting accident, when his horse stumbled, fell and landed on top of him.

    Other Events and Attributes:

    • Accession: 1125; Count of Troyes Count of Champagne Thibaut IV Count of Bloi

    Notes:

    French nobility, as Thibaut II Count of Champagne and as Thibaut IV Count of Blois. He was the second-eldest son of Étienne Henri de Blois and Adela of England. He inherited the titles Count of Troyes and Count of Champagne from his uncle Hugh in 1125. His relationship with his liege Louis VI was a quite ambivalent relationship. While he supported him in 1111 against a revolt, he turned against him two years later when the king denied him the county of Corbeil. He allied with his uncle Henry I of England, but signed a peace contract with Louis when Henry was excommunicated. From 1127 on, he again opposed the King of France. This constant changing of sides didn't change with the new king, Louis VII. After Thibaut had helped arrange his marriage to Eleanor of Aquitaine in 1137 he came into conflict with the king about the introduction of a new Archbishop of Bourges. After the death of Henry I, he was proposed by the Norman barons to succeed him, as he was the eldest grandson of William the Conqueror. But his youngest brother Stephen was able to obtain the crown. In exchange, he received the regency over Normandy, which he lost again in 1144 when Geoffrey Plantagenet, Count of Anjou, invaded the county. He was unable to prevent it because he was occupied with Louis who had invaded the Champagne. But soon Louis feared the new strength of the Anjou family and now allied with Thibaut. He is known as a supporter of the Cistercians and for the foundation of the abbeys of Clairvaux, Trois-Fontaines and Pontigny. He also granted Pierre Abelard refuge after he had had to flee from Saint Denis University. Thibaut was married to Mathilde of Carinthia who bore him eleven children. His eldest sons married the daughters of King Louis and Eleanor while his youngest daughter married the king himself.
