Notes for Geoffrey V the Fair Plantagenet Count of Anjou and Maine
Geoffrey V (24 August 1113 – 7 September 1151), called
the Handsome,
the Fair (French:
le Bel) or
Plantagenet, was the
count of Anjou, Touraine and Maine by inheritance from 1129, and also Duke of Normandy by conquest from 1144. His marriage to Empress Matilda, daughter of King Henry I of England, led to the centuries-long reign of the Plantagenet dynasty in England. The name "Plantagenet" was taken from Geoffrey's epithet. Geoffrey's ancestral domain of Anjou gave rise to the name Angevin, and what modern historians name as the Angevin Empire in the 12th century.
