After Henry II's death in 1189 the countship, together with the rest of his dominions, passed to his son Richard I of England, but on the death of the latter in 1199, Arthur of Brittany (born in 1187) laid claim to the inheritance, which ought, according to him, to have fallen to his father Geoffrey, fourth son of Henry II, in accordance with the custom by which "the son of the eldest brother should succeed to his father's patrimony." [5], Odo acceded to the throne of France in 888, but he seems to have already delegated the country between the Maine and the Mayenne to Ingelger as a viscount or count around 870,[4] possibly owing to the connections of his wife Adelais of Amboise. [4] He found himself confronted on his accession with a coalition of Odo I, count of Blois, and Conan I of Rennes. Omissions? On his death (29 April 1417), she took upon herself the guardianship of their young son Louis III, and, in her capacity of regent, defended the duchy against the English. This empire was broken up by the French king Philip II, who confiscated the dynasty's northern French lands, including Anjou in 1205. Under the kingdom of France, Anjou was practically identical with the diocese of Angers, bound on the north by Maine, on the east by Touraine, on the south by Poitou (Poitiers) and the Mauges, and the west by the countship of Nantes or the duchy of Brittany. L'Anjou en tant qu'entité et territoire apparaît sous l'Antiquité avec le peuple des Andécaves. Be on the lookout for your Britannica newsletter to get trusted stories delivered right to your inbox. Fulk V the Young (14 April 1109 – 1129) succeeded to the countship of Maine on the death of Elias (11 July 1110); but this increase of Angevin territory came into such direct collision with the interests of Henry I of England, who was also duke of Normandy, that a struggle between the two powers became inevitable. He did not keep it very long, but became reconciled to René in 1476 and restored it to him, on condition, probably, that René should bequeath it to him. [4][5] Traditionally Anjou was divided into four natural regions: the Baugeois, the Haut-Anjou (or Segréen), the Mauges, and the Saumurois. The later Angevin princes were more interested in the conquest of the kingdom of Naples than in the defense of their duchy, and Louis II, as his father, Louis I, spent most of his life away from Anjou. On 16 December 1325, Charles died, leaving Anjou to his eldest son Philip of Valois, on whose recognition as King of France (Philip VI) on 1 April 1328, the countship of Anjou was again united to the crown. Charles of Valois at once entered into possession of the countship of Anjou, to which Philip IV, the Fair, in September 1297, attached a peerage of France. Anjou was definitively ceded to France by the Treaty of Paris (1259). The vin d’Anjou is ordinarily white, with a fruity taste. He helped Hugh Capet to seize the French crown but died some months after the new king’s accession (987). The rich lowlands along the Loire River produce wines, fruits, and flowers for the markets of Paris. Having been abruptly recalled into Anjou by a revolt of his barons, he returned to the charge in September 1136 with a strong army, including in its ranks William, duke of Aquitaine, Geoffrey, count of Vendome [fr], and William Talvas, count of Ponthieu. In 1112 it broke out, and Fulk, being unable to prevent Henry I from taking Alençon and making Robert, lord of Bellême, prisoner, was forced, at the treaty of Pierre Pecoulée, near Alençon (23 February 1113), to do homage to Henry for Maine. Town after town surrendered: in 1141, Verneuil, Nonancourt, Lisieux, Falaise; in 1142, Mortain, Saint-Hilaire, Pontorson; in 1143, Avranches, Saint-Lô, Cérences, Coutances, Cherbourg; in the beginning of 1144 he entered Rouen, and on 19 January received the ducal crown in its cathedral. Anjou is a commune located in Bas-Dauphiné, some 6 km east by south-east of Roussillon and 10 km north-east of Saint-Rambert-d'Albon. The former province of Anjou also encompassed the regions of La Flèche and Château-Gontier. Geoffrey I Grisegonelle, who succeeded Fulk II in about 960, began the policy of expansion that was to characterize this first feudal dynasty. When the Valois line failed and Anjou was incorporated into the royal domain again in 1480, there was little change on the ground. Thus began the third Angevin dynasty, which was raised to ducal rank in 1360. [3], In 2009 the commune had 973 inhabitants. Moreover, in the wars of King Lothaire against the Normans and against the emperor Otto II, he distinguished himself by feats of arms which the epic poets were quick to celebrate.[5]. Financially it formed part of the so-called pays de grande gabelle, and comprised sixteen special tribunals, or greniers à sel (salt warehouses):--Angers, Baugé, Beaufort, Bourgueil, Candé, Château-Gontier, Cholet, Craon, La Flèche, Saint-Florent-le-Vieil, Ingrandes, Le Lude, Pouancé, Saint-Rémy-la-Varenne, Richelieu, Saumur. [6] Their son Fulk the Red succeeded to his father's holdings in 888,[4] is mentioned as a viscount after 898, and seems to have been granted or usurped the title of count by the second quarter of the 10th century.
