From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Fulk II of Anjou, son of Fulk the Red, was count of Anjou from 942 to his death.^[1]

He was often at war with the Bretons. He seems to have been a man of culture, a poet and an artist. He was succeeded by his son Geoffrey Greymantle.

Fulk II died at Tours. Fulk's date of death 11 Nov 958 is given by Christian Settipani in his work La Noblesse du Midi Carolingien.

By his spouse, Gerberge, he had several children:

• Adelais of Anjou, married five times
• Geoffrey I, Count of Anjou, married Adelaide of Vermandois
• Bouchard IV, Count of Vendome, married Elizabeth of Vendome; their daughter, Elizabeth married her cousin, Geoffrey I's son, Fulk the Black, only to be burnt at the stake by her husband in her wedding dress.
