Biography

Her grand-daughter Anjou-33 married Alan and Guillaume. Alan is presumably a duplicate of Bretagne-73.

Ermengarde was born around 1018, the daughter of Foulques III of Anjou and Hildegarde of Metz. She passed away in 1076[1].
Research Notes

According to FMG Fulk of Anjou had only one daughter named Ermengarde. She was married to Geoffrey de Chateau Landon, de Gatinais and Robert I duke of Burgundy (Capet)

Biography

FULK THE BLACK, French FOULQUES LE NOIR, count of Anjou (987-1040), the most powerful of the early rulers of the Angevin dynasty.

Exposed at first to the attacks of the counts of Brittany, Fulk had to fight for a long time to defend his frontiers, finally driving the Bretons back beyond the frontiers of Anjou. Having made himself master in the west, he turned his attention to the east and came into conflict with the count of Blois, Eudes II, over the territory of Saumur and a considerable part of Touraine. He defeated Eudes at Pontlevoy in 1016 and surprised and took Saumur jten years later.

A ruthless warrior who burned and pillaged the monasteries in his path, Fulk nevertheless felt the need for penance, making three pilgrimages to the Holy Land and founding or restoring several abbeys, including those in or near Angers, Loches, and Saumur. He also built strongly fortified castles of stone (instead of wood) along the border of his territory. For this reason, he was called le Grand Bâtisseur ("the Great Builder"). He died on his return from a pilgrimage to the Holy Land, having reigned 53 years. Copyright c 1994-2001 Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc.[1]

Note: ref: Wikipedia (http://www.wikipedia.org) (20 Apr 10) -

Fulk III (972 - 21 June 1040), called Nerra (that is, le Noir, "the Black") after his death, was Count of Anjou from 21 July 987 to his death. He was the son of Geoffrey Greymantle and Adelaide of Vermandois.

Fulk III was the founder of Angevin power. He was only fifteen when he succeeded his father, and had a violent but also pious temperament, was partial to acts of extreme cruelty as well as penitence. In his most notorious act, he had his first wife (and cousin) Elisabeth of Vendôme burned at the stake in her wedding dress after he discovered her in adultery with a goatherder in December 999. On the other hand, he made four pilgrimages to the Holy Land in 1002, 1008, and 1038 and, in 1007, built the great abbey at Beaulieu-lès-Loches.

Fulk died in Metz while returning from his last pilgrimage. He is buried in the chapel of his monastery at Beaulieu. By his first wife, Elisabeth, he left one daughter, Adela. By his second wife (1001), Hildegard of Sundgau, he had two children, Geoffrey Martel, his successor, and Ermengarde, through whom he was an ancestor of Geoffrey Plantagenet and the Plantagenet kings of England.

Biography
Name and Titles

Name: Fulk IV, count of Anjou
Younger son of Geoffroy (III), Count of Gâtinais by his wife Ermengarde of Anjou.

Fulk IV (in French Foulques IV) (1043\endash 14 April 1109), called le Réchin, was the Count of Anjou from 1068 until his death. The nickname by which he is usually referred has no certain translation. Philologists have made numerous very different suggestions, including "quarreler", "rude", "sullen", "surly" and "heroic".[1]

Born: 1042-1043. Aged 17 in a document dated Pentecost [14 May] 1060. Place: Unknown, presumably in the area of Gâtinais, France where his father was count. His mother was from Anjou and Fulk IV would become the count of Anjou in 1068, so this is sometimes given as his place of birth online.

Notes and Commentary

Falsely attributed father: (in fact an uncle): Aubri/Alberic, living 1028, count of Gâtinais. Although contemporary sources confirm Geoffroy was the name of the father of Geoffroy III "le Barbu" and Foulques IV "Rechin", several sources from the next century name the father of Geoffroy III and Foulques IV as count Aubri/Alberic of Gâtinais, and the existence of a count of Gâtinais of that name is confirmed by a charter. Various authors have dealt with this contradiction either by giving a count Aubri/Geoffroy who used both names, or by accepting one of the names and rejecting the other, with different details. This is discussed in detail on the page of count Geoffroy of Gâtianis. [5]

Notice of resolution of ambiguous parentage This profile has been edited with regard to parents in accordance with principles established by the European Aristocracy user-group. Medieval genealogy is not an exact science, and digital collaborative genealogy must therefore occasionally make choices where old-fashioned print-scholarship did not have to. The parents (or lack of parents) of the person described in this profile were decided upon in consultation with primary sources especially as collected in the Foundation for Medieval Genealogy's Medieval Lands project.
