     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:
     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.

      ; Per Genealogics:
     "Foulques III 'Nerra' was born about 972, the son of Geoffrey I, count of Anjou, and Adelais de Vermandois. He began his reign in 987 by seizing Châteaudun to secure himself against his neighbours Eudes II, count of Blois and Champagne, and Gelduin, lord of Saumur. In 992, after winning the battle of Conquereuil against the Bretons, he pillaged and devastated the area. In his time, castles of wood were still being built as well as those of stone. Between 992 and 994 Foulques built the stone castle at Langeais, which is the earliest stone castle to have survived.
     "In 1026 Foulques took Saumur and built many castles in Anjou for use as offensive bases: Trèves on the Loire, Durtal also on the Loire above Angers, and a ring of forts encircling Tours. According to Richard Erdoes, in his _AD 1000: Living on the Brink of Apocalypse_: 'Not all founders of monasteries were known for their kindness. Fulk of Anjou, plunderer, murderer, robber, and swearer of false (sic) oaths, a truly terrifying character of fiendish cruelty, founded not one but two large abbeys (Beaulieu-des-Loches near Tours and St.Nicholas at Angers). Foulques was filled with unbridled passion, a temper directed to extremes. Whenever he had the slightest difference with a neighbour he would rush upon his lands, ravaging, pillaging, raping and killing; nothing could stop him, least of all the commandments of God. This appalling man had countless crimes upon his conscience, but when seized with a fit of remorse, he abandoned himself to incredible penance. Thus the very tomb of St. Martin, whose monks he had ill-treated, saw him prostrate, with bare feet and in penitent's dress; and during his life he went to Jerusalem several times as a devout pilgrim, treading half-naked the sorrowful road of the passion while two of his servants flogged him until the blood flowed, crying: 'Lord, receive thy perjured Foulques!'.
     "He married twice: with his first wife Elisabeth de Vendôme he had a daughter Adele. He had Elisabeth boiled to death for infidelity in December 999. With his second wife Hildegarde he had two children of whom Ermengarde would have progeny. Foulques went on pilgrimage to Jerusalem three times: in 1002, about 1008 and in 1039. He died on 22 May 1040."⁴ GAV-26 EDV-27 GKJ-27.

The Historiæ Andegavensis, allegedly written by Foulques IV "Rechin" Comte d'Anjou, names "Goffridus Grisagonella pater avi mei Fulconis"[121]. The Chronicle of Alberic de Trois-Fontaines names "Gaufridi Grisagonelli" as father of "Fulconis Andegavensum comitis"[122].

These sources make it even more puzzling why both the Gesta Consulum Andegavorum and the Historia Comitum Andegavorum, as mentioned in the Introduction to the Anjou documents, both record that Count Foulques III "Nerra" was the son of Maurice, youngest son of Count Geoffroy I "Grisegonelle"[124].

     "Geoffrey I of Anjou (c.?938/940 – 21 July 987), known as Grisegonelle ("Grey Gown" or "Greymantle"),[1] was count of Anjou from 960 to 987. at an unknown age
Life
     "Geoffrey was the eldest son of Fulk II, Count of Anjou and his first wife Gerberga.[2] He succeeded his father as Count of Anjou about 960,at the age of 20.[3] He married Adele of Meaux (934–982), daughter of Robert of Vermandois. On her mother's side she was a granddaughter of king Robert I of France and on her father's side a direct descendant of Charlemagne.[3] Through this marriage the Angevins joined the highest ranks of western French nobility.[3]
     "Geoffrey started by making his power-base the citadel of Angers strategically placing his fideles in key areas surrounding the city to protect his territories.[4] The lands of the abbeys of Saint-Aubin and Saint-Serge in Angers provided the beneficium for his most faithful adherents.[4] On this subject which became this family's theme, Geoffrey advised both his sons, Fulk and Maurice: "No house is weak that has many friends. Therefore I admonish you to hold dear those fideles who have been friends."[5] Although one of the principal methods of Angevin expansion was by the creation of family connections Geoffrey exerted his control through various methods.[6] His father had controlled Nantes through his second marriage to the widowed countess and Geoffrey continued this by making Count Guerech accept him as overlord.[6] With an eye towards Maine, Geoffrey took advantage of the rift that developed between the Counts of Maine and the viscounts and Bishops of Le Mans.[7] About 971 Geoffrey secured the see of Le Mans for his ally Bishop Seinfroy.[8] In 973 Geoffrey had married his daughter Ermengarde-Gerberga to Conan I of Rennes[9] but Conan began to oppose Geoffrey and in 982 the two met at the first battle of Conquereuil with Geoffrey defeating Conan.[10]
     "Geoffrey had influence in Aquitaine by way of his sister Adelaide-Blanche's first marriage to the powerful baron Stephen, Count of Gevaudan and Forez, after whose death the lands were ruled by Adelaide.[11] His nephews Pons and Bertrand succeeded as counts there and his niece Adalmode married Adelbert, Count of Marche and Périgord. In 975 Geoffrey had his brother Guy appointed Count and Bishop of Le Puy.[11] In 982 Geoffrey married his now widowed sister Adelaide-Blanche to the fifteen-year-old Louis V of France, the two being crowned King and Queen of Aquitaine.[10] But the marriage to a woman thirty years his senior failed as did Geoffrey's plans to control Aquitaine through his young son-in-law.[10] After the death of his first wife Adele, Geoffrey married secondly Adelaise de Châlon and for nearly a decade exerted control over the county of Châlons.[6] Through the marriage of his son, Fulk III, to Elisabeth the heiress of Vendôme Geoffrey brought that county into the Angevin sphere of influence.[12] At this time Geoffrey made his son Fulk Nerra his co-ruler since he died shortly thereafter while besieging the fortress of Marcon on 21 July 987.[13]

     "Geoffroy Ier d'Anjou, mieux connu sous le surnom de Geoffroy Grisegonelle (manteau gris)1,2, né vers 938/940, tué le 21 juillet 987 au siège de Marçon, près de Château-du-Loir, fut comte d'Anjou de 958 à 987. Il était de la famille des Ingelgeriens et fils de Foulque II « le Bon », comte d'Anjou, et de Gerberge (de Gâtinais ?).
     "En tant que comte carolingien, il soutient les rois Lothaire et Louis V, tout en reconnaissant tenir l'Anjou des Robertiens. Il continue la politique de ses prédécesseurs, qui consiste à défendre sa frontière ouest par le contrôle du comté de Nantes et à progresser vers le Poitou.
Biographie
     "Il commence par installer des fidèles au commandement des différents châteaux et organise ainsi la défense de son comté. Puis il participe avec le roi Lothaire et le comte de Blois Thibaut Ier « le Tricheur » à une campagne contre le duc Richard Ier de Normandie, mais ne peut empêcher la prise de Nantes par les Normands. Il doit alors organiser une nouvelle ligne de défense face au comté de Nantes.
     "La mort de Thibaut fait prendre de la distance entre les maisons de Blois et d'Anjou. Le nouveau comte Eudes Ier agit de manière inamicale, et en 978 débute une guerre entre l'Anjou et le Blésois qui va se prolonger pendant soixante-dix ans. En 981, deux comtes se disputent Nantes : Conan Ier le Tort, soutenu par Blois, et Guérech, soutenu par l'Anjou. Le choc des armées a lieu à Conquereuil, où Geoffroy écrase Conan.
     "En plus de l'Anjou, Geoffroy possède des domaines et des alliances dans plusieurs régions où il exerce son influence, cependant sous le contrôle de son suzerain, Hugues Capet. Ces régions sont le Gâtinais (probablement par sa mère), le Vexin (son beau-frère est le comte Gautier, le Vermandois (par sa première épouse), le Perche et l'Auvergne (son beau-frère fut Étienne, vicomte de Gévaudan et son frère Guy fut évêque du Puy-en-Velay).
     "Il s'étend également vers le sud en prenant les villes de Loudun et de Mirebeau, après avoir vaincu à la bataille des Roches en 970 Guillaume Fier-à-Bras, duc d'Aquitaine et comte de Poitiers. Il s'allie avec les vicomtes de Thouars et marie sa fille à un comte d'Angoulême.
     "Le fils de Lothaire, le futur Louis V et sa femme Adélaïde d'Anjou, une sœur de Geoffroy, se séparent en 984.
     "En 984, Guérech cherche à s'affranchir de la tutelle angevine en faisant allégeance directement au roi de France Lothaire, mais Geoffroy capture Guérech lorsque ce dernier retourne à Nantes. Geoffroy en profite pour fortifier les possessions angevines au sud de Nantes, notamment par la construction du donjon du Pallet. Guérech n'est libéré qu'en 985 en reconnaissant la suzeraineté de Geoffroy. La brouille s'installe alors entre le roi et le comte d'Anjou, qui se rapproche et s'allie au duc Hugues Capet.
     "Sur le plan religieux, il effectue un pèlerinage à Rome en 962, puis fonde et dote plusieurs établissements religieux. Avec son frère Guy, évêque du Puy, il favorise également la réforme ecclésiastique, et introduit la règle de Saint-Benoît dans plusieurs monastères et abbayes angevins.
     "En 987, alors qu'Hugues Capet vient d'être sacré roi de France, Geoffroy et Bouchard, comte de Vendôme assiègent le château de Marçon, tenu par Eudes Ruffin, un vassal du comte Eudes Ier de Blois. C'est au cours de ce siège que Geoffroy est tué.
     "Geoffroy Grisegonelle est cité dans un texte écrit de 1100 à 1140 par un moine angevin3, à la demande de Foulques le Réchin (1043 - † 1109), son arrière-petit-fils par sa mère Ermengarde d'Anjou.
Mariages et enfants
     "Vers 965, il épouse en premières noces Adèle de Vermandois († 974), fille de Robert Ier de Vermandois, comte de Meaux et de Troyes, et d'Adélaïde Werra. Ils ont quatre enfants :
     "Il épouse en mars 979 Adelaïs, veuve de Lambert comte de Chalon. Ils ont un enfant :
     "Une charte de Foulque III Nerra datant de 1003 lui mentionne un fils nommé Maurice, curieusement absent des chartes d'Adèle de Vermandois. Les généalogistes en ont conclu que Maurice est issu d'un second mariage de Geoffroy. Cette seconde épouse est identifiée pour diverses raisons à Adélaïde (Adèle ou Adélaïs)

The Gesta Consulum Andegavorum names "primogenitus Gofridus…Guido…episcopus Podii…tertius minor Drogo" as the three sons of "Fulco Pius"[82]. He succeeded his father in 958 as GEOFFROY I "Grisegonelle" Comte d'Anjou. "Teutbaldi comitis, Teutbaldi junioris, Gausfredi comitis, Hugonis comitis Cenomannorum…" subscribed the charter dated Sep 960 under which "Aremburgis" donated property to Saint-Florent de Saumur[83]. "Gaufridus…Andecavorum comes", with the consent of "fratre meo Widone abate", established the right of the comtes d'Anjou to appoint abbots of Saint-Aubin d'Angers, by charter dated 19 Jun 966[84]. He succeeded as Comte de Chalon from his second marriage until his death in 987. The Chronico Sancti Michaelis records the death in 987 of "Gaufredus comes Andegavensis pater Fulconis"[85]. The Chronica Rainaldi records that "Gaufridus Andecavorum comes, pater Fulconis comitis" was killed "XII Kal Aug in obsidione Marsonis super Odonem Rufinum facta"[86]. The necrology of Angers Cathedral records the death "XIV Kal Aug 987" of "Gaufridus Andegavensis comes, pater Fulconis in obsidione Marsonis"[87].

     "m firstly ([965] or before) ADELA de Meaux, daughter of ROBERT Comte de Meaux et de Troyes & his wife Adelais [de Bourgogne] ([950]-974 after 6 Mar). Her parentage and marriage are indicated by a manuscript genealogy, dated to the early 12th century, which lists "Herbertus de Tricis, Robertus, Adela, Fulco, Gaufridus Martellus", presumably indicating a line of succession[90]. Her marriage date is estimated based on the estimated birth date of her oldest daughter. "Adela" donated property to Saint-Aubin d'Angers by charter dated 6 Mar 974 which names "seniore meo Gauzfredo comite" and is subscribed by "Gauzfredi comitis, Fulconis filii eius, Gauzfredi filii eius"[91]. The Chronicæ Sancti Albini names "Adela comitissa…et marito suo Gaufrido" as present at the ordination of "Rainaldus episcopus" in 1074[92]. "Fulco Andecavorum comes" relinquished rights to the bishop of Angers "pro anima patris mei Gauffredi et matris Adelæ" by charter dated 17 Jan 1020[93].
     "m secondly (Mar 979) as her second husband, ADELAIS, widow of LAMBERT Comte de Chalon, daughter of --- (-after 18 Oct 984). "Lanbertus comes [et]…Adeleydis uxor mea" made a joint donation of "capellam beati Martini in villa Vigoseto" to Cluny by charter dated 978[94]. "Gausfredus comes [et]…Adeleidis uxor mea" jointly donated land in "pago Cabilonensi" by charter dated Mar 979, her first marriage being deduced from "Hugo filius Lanberti comitis" acting jointly with them and signing "Hugonis filii eius" directly after "Adeleidis" in the subscriptions[95]. "Gauzfredi comitis, Adaleidis comitissa" subscribed a charter dated 18 Oct 984[96]. The origin of Adelais has been the subject of much speculation. Settipani has suggested that she was the daughter of Hugues Comte en Bourgogne & his wife Willa von Thurgau[97]. Chaume suggested that she was the daughter or granddaughter of Charles Constantin Comte de Vienne[98]. Bouchard sets out several different theories concerning Adelais's origin, with the aim mainly of explaining Lambert's succession to the county of Chalon by inheritance through his wife. However, none appears to be based on any primary source and the author concludes that she prefers "to leave Adelaide's origins unknown"[99]. An earlier theory was that Adelais was the sister of "Wera" Ctss de Meaux[100], which would mean that she was Adelais, daughter of Giselbert Duke of Burgundy, Comte de Chalon-sur-Saône et de Troyes & his wife Ermengarde [of Burgundy]. Duchesne suggested that Adelais Ctss de Chalon was the daughter of Robert Comte de Meaux et de Troyes[101], although this would mean that the two wives of Geoffroy I Comte d'Anjou were sisters, no mention of which has been found in contemporary sources. Yet another suggestion is that Adelais Ctss de Chalon was the same person as Wera-Adelais Ctss de Meaux. However, this is even more unlikely chronologically considering the estimated birth date of Wera-Adelais and the fact that Adelais de Chalon gave birth to at least one child by her second husband after their marriage in 979. It would also mean that Comte Geoffroy married, as his second wife, his first wife's mother which is unlikely to have been accepted by the church. Finally, in 1619, Duchesne suggested that Adelais was the sister of Guillaume I Comte d'Arles[102].
     "Geoffroy I & his first wife had four children:
1. ERMENGARDE d'Anjou (before 965-after 982).
2. FOULQUES d'Anjou ([970]-Metz 21 Jun 1040, bur Beaulieu-lez-Loche, Abbaye de Saint-Pierre).
3. GEOFFROY (-after 6 Mar 974).
4. GERBERGE d'Anjou (974 or before-after 1 Apr 1040).
Comte Geoffroy I & his second wife had one child:
5. MAURICE d'Anjou ([980]-1012, bur Châteauneuf, église Saint-Martin)."

; Per Genealogics:
     "Geoffrey was born about 950, the son of Foulques II 'the Good', comte d'Anjou, and Gerberge de Tours. The _Chronicle of the Counts of Anjou_ describes him as 'stout-hearted and strong and most successful in battle' and tells of his single-handed victory against Ethelulf the Dane, a Goliath-like figure. He was known as Greygown after a witness to the contest picked him out at the French court by the colour of his robes.
     "He was count of Anjou from 958 to 987, succeeding his father. He allied with the county of Nantes against the county of Rennes, and allied with Hugues Capet, fearing an invasion by the count of Blois. He was one of the men responsible for bringing Hugues to the throne of France.
     "About 965 he married Adelais de Vermandois, daughter of Robert de Vermandois, comte de Meaux et Troyes and Adelheid/Wera de Bourgogne. Geoffrey and Adelais had a daughter Ermengarde, also known as Gerberge, who would have progeny with both her husbands Conon I 'le Tort', duc de Bretagne, and Guillaume IV Taillefer, comte d'Angoulême, and two sons of whom Geoffrey died young and his heir Foulques III 'Nera' who would have progeny. By an unnamed second wife Geoffrey also had a son Maurice who is not recorded with progeny.
     "Geoffrey started by making his power-base the citadel of Angers strategically placing his _fideles_ (close followers) in key areas surrounding the city to protect his territories. The lands of the abbeys of Saint-Aubin and Saint-Serge in Angers provided the _beneficium_ (landed estates granted in feudal tenure) for his most faithful adherents. On this subject, which became the family's theme, Geoffrey advised both his sons Foulques and Maurice: 'No house is weak that has many friends. Therefore I admonish you to hold dear those _fideles_ who have been friends.' Although one of the principal methods of Angevin expansion was by the creation of family connections. Geoffrey exerted his control through various methods. His father had controlled Nantes through his second marriage to Adelaide, the widow of Alain II, duke of Brittany, and Geoffrey continued this by making Alain's illegitimate son Guisle, comte de Nantes, accept him as overlord. With an eye towards Maine, Geoffrey took advantage of the rift that developed between the counts of Maine and the viscounts and bishops of Le Mans. About 971 Geoffroy secured the see of Le Mans for his ally Bishop Seinfroy. In 973 Geoffrey had married his daughter Ermengarde-Gerberge to Conon I 'le Tort', duc de Bretagne, but Conon began to oppose Geoffrey and in 982 the two met at the first battle of Conquereuil with Geoffrey defeating Conon.
     "Geoffrey had influence in Aquitaine through his sister Adelaide dite Blanche d'Anjou's first marriage to the powerful baron Etienne I de Brioude, count of Gévaudan and Forez, and after his death the lands were ruled by Adelaide-Blanche. His nephews Pons and Bertrande succeeded as counts there and his niece Almodis married Boso II, comte de La Marche et Périgord. In 975 Geoffrey had his brother Guy appointed count and bishop of Le Puy. In 982 Geoffrey married his now widowed sister Adelaide-Blanche to the fifteen-year-old Louis V of France, the two being crowned king and queen in Aquitaine. But the marriage to a woman thirty years Louis' senior failed as did Geoffrey's plans to control Aquitaine through his son-in-law. Through his first wife Adelais, Geoffrey for nearly a decade exerted control over the county of Châlons. Through the marriage of his son Foulques III to Elisabeth, the heiress of Vendôme, Geoffrey brought that county into the Angevin sphere of influence.

FOULQUES de Mantes (-1058). Bishop of Amiens . According to Gallia Christiana, Bishop Foulques was “nepos” of his predecessor (no primary source cited)[48]. Orderic Vitalis names Foulques as third son of Dreux Comte de Mantes and his wife Godgifu of England and specifies that he was Bishop of Amiens[49]. Foulques Bishop of Amiens is named in charters from early in the reign of Henri King of France. It is difficult to determine which of these charters may relate to his predecessor, also named Foulques. However, if they relate to Bishop Foulques who died in 1058 it is unlikely that Orderic Vitalis was correct about his parentage. It is possible, therefore, that Bishop Foulques was the brother of Dreux Comte de Mantes, who is named below, not his son. Henri I King of France granted privileges to Amiens, with the consent of “Fulcone Ambianensi et Gualtero comite”, by charter dated 1057[50]."
