Fulk Foulques d'Anjou I [in Ancient People & Artifacts]
Biography
| Birth | 9 October 888 | Fulk d'Anjou, I (Foulques in French) Don's 32 GGF, was born on 9 October 888 at AnjouG, in Rhône-Alpes, France (Medieval), EuropeG.1,2 |
| Marriage | 5 July 905 | He and Roscille de Loches were married on 5 July 905 in Anjou, France (Medieval), EuropeG.2 |
| Death | 13 August 938 | He died on 13 August 938 at age 49 at AnjouG, in Rhône-Alpes, France (Medieval), EuropeG. The cause of his death (at the age of 50) on Wednesday, August 13th, 938AD is not known-surviving in 938 was difficult; his death is not known & it occurred in Medieval France
source (Netherlands) has an alternate place of Saint martin, Tours |
| Burial | after 938 | He was buried after 938 at Buried in the cemetery at the Basilique de St-MartinG in Département d'Indre-et-Loire, Centre, France (Medieval), EuropeG. |
| Name | | Fulk d'Anjou, I (Foulques in French) Don's 32 GGF, was also known as Fulk the Red ( Latin: "Rufus" French: "le Roux" .) |
| Note | | Upon the death of Charles' father, king Louis "Do-Nothing" Hugo, duke of Burgundy was summoned and elected by the common counsel of the Franks to be the guardian of Charles, who was still in wardship and unfit to rule the kingdom, since Louis himself was weakened by illness; Hugo was the boy's relative on his mother's side, as the histories say. He was a man noteworthy for his faith and virtue and was more fitted for this guardianship than the previous prince had been, and he hoped and wished to administer this duty for the liberation of his own country: and had the length of his life permitted it, he would have done so
Having taken up with Christian devotion and fidelity that power which at that time was called "abbacomes", but which was later converted by his successors into the more arrogant word "dukedom," that prince received a share in the royal estates as a reward for his work. This was done by the bishops and the nobles of the whole realm, who gave him Neustria with the consent of the young king Charles. This name [Neustria] comprised all the lands between the Loire and the Seine, from the zone between Paris and Orléans down to the ocean. When this piece of land had been given to him whole, together with its cities and counties, abbacies and castles, excluding only the dioceses, which were retained as part of royal holdings, he wanted to strengthen the zeal of his counts and other chief men toward the defense of the area. For this reason he enriched them all with honors and rewards
Now this man bestowed the whole of the county of Anjou, which had formerly been bipartite, upon Fulk the Red, joined to him in kinship through his grandmother, as it has been told to us. He also conferred on him the monasteries of St.-Aubin and St.-Lézin, both of which had formerly been royal possessions. All of these things Charles the Simple, son of Louis Do-Nothing the Stammerer, gave to him
[A long passage follows (skipped) in which Fulk the Red is described in terms drawn from Sallust's work on Catiline.]
This Fulk then took a noble wife from the country of Tours, Roscilla by name, daughter of Warnerius, who at that time owned three castles in the Touraine, the ones called Loches, Villentrasti and Haia, two of which Fulk thereafter acquired by unjust means. Warnerius was the son of Adelaudus, that is, of the man to whom Charles the Bald had given Loches […]
Fulk lived a long time and saw his sons grow to adulthood; one of them, named Guido, who had been made bishop of Soissons by the abbacomes Hugh, did some peculiar things, but also a particularly noble and outstanding deed. Charles the Simple, whom we have said was the surviving son of king Louis, had been captured by the Normans: Guido offered himself as hostage in Charles' place, and freed him from his imprisonment
Another son, named Ingelgerius, a strong and martial youth [described in terms drawn from Sallust's work on Jugurtha]. In resisting the Normans he fought a number of excellent battles; by these men he was captured and killed, losing thus the light of his youth
A third son, younger than the others, of whom we shall speak later. Now Fulk the Red, having reached old age, with the marauding of the Normans now calmed somewhat, sensing the nearness of death (since the light of his eyes was weakening), was suddenly pricked and made remorseful for the excesses of his life (for he is said to have been a weak man as far as concerned the wantonness of his lusts); through the lord Hervey bishop of Angers, a religious and God-fearing man, he made amends for his sins before God: for his redemption he bequeathed his entire treasury to the poor, and gave in perpetual alms to the monasteries of St.-Aubin and St.-Lézin, both of which had clerics living in them at the time, the excellent estate of Chiriacum, located by the Loire [929-930]. The clergy of St. Martin [of Angers], after this donation, were admitted to a sixth share of the revenues of the estate by the other two congregations

Biography
| Birth | 960 | Elisabeth, of Vendôme, was born in 960 at VendômeG in Loir-et-Cher, Centre, France (Medieval), EuropeG. |
| Marriage | before 989 | Fulk d'Anjou, III (Foulques in French), and she were married before 989 in France (Medieval), EuropeG+. Elizabeth married Fulk III (known as 'the Black') c. 990 and with him had one daughter, Adele, the future Comtesse de Vendôme; she was burned alive by her husband at the stake wearing her wedding dress after he discovered her in adultery with a farmer in December 999
Fulk III had a violent temperament (but was also pious), and was partial to acts of extreme cruelty as well as penitence; burning his wife was his most notorious act. 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
As a result, historiography has this to say about him: "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"
Alternate reports state that she was executed for adultery and witchcraft by being boiled alive, or that she died from a fire in Angers, which happened within days of her reported death
