RIN: 111 FULL TITLE: Count of Anjou (10th.) MARRIAGE: Query date of marriage - 3 April
Although today Geoffrey Plantagenet is probably bes t k n o w n for his conquest of Normandy and for being th e fat h e r o f Henry II, in the twelfth century he was muc h mor e f am ou s for the siege of his baron Girard of Mont reuil- Bell a y nea r the very end of his life. Modern hist orian s lov e t o tal k about the siege, but largely becaus e ther e ar e ver y goo d contemporary descriptions of it , which m ake i t a va luabl e case study in medieval warfa re. Ther e does n ot see m to b e any sense that the sieg e was a par ticularl y import ant eve nt. But in its time , the siege o f Montreui l was ind eed a ma jor event, whic h was in retro spect depri ved of it s importan ce only bec ause later events changed t he politic al landscap e enoug h to conceal th e political ga ins Geoffre y hoped to m ake , and because er rors in datin g have obscure d the preci s e context in whic h the siege to ok place.
First, although the siege is usually described as las t i n g t hree years, this is taken from the chronologicall y- ch al leng ed Robert of Torigny, writing decades after t h e fac t . Fro m contemporary sources, it is clear that t h e sieg e la sted o nly one year, beginning in 1150 and en di ng in 1 151 . This la ter start date also calls into que sti on the r elat ionship be tween the siege and the war be twee n Geoffre y an d King Louis , which began in 1149 an d erupted full-fo rce i n 1150. It i s often suggested tha t the wa r was retal iatio n for Geoffrey 's ill treatmen t of Girard , but sinc e the si ege only bega n after the w ar broke out , it seem s the rever se is actuall y true: ju st as Geoffre y was at w ar with Loui s to protect A ngevi n rights in Nor mandy, so h e attacked Lo uis' ally Girar d , an Angevin mar cher baron e ntrusted wit h the Poitevin f ro ntier who wa s Louis' senesc hal in Poitou , to protec t the fr ontier fr om Capetian infl uence.
Finally, the decision of Geoffrey to turn Normand y o v e r t o his son Henry in 1150 can also be placed in t hi s co nt ext . It is claimed that the war was in part du e t o Henr y' s ref usal to do homage to Louis for Normandy , bu t infa c t no Nor man ruler had done this since 936 . Mor e recentl y , the heir s of Henry I and Stephen had d one ho mage to t h e king, and t his would explain why Geof frey re signed imm ed iately after L ouis returned from th e Crusade : to forest al l any claim base d on recent prece dent tha t Louis migh t hav e to Henry's homa ge as Geoffre y's heir . Since Henr y himsel f had no heir at t he time , his becom ing duke thu s remove d the Capetian's clai m t o Norman hom age, and serv ed as ye t another way for Geof f rey and Henr y to try to re duce Cape tian influence ove r th e Angevins.
Because Henry's marriage to Eleanor deprived the si e g e o f m uch of its tactical benefit, and because the pe a c e betw ee n Henry and Louis made the larger conflict o f w hi ch th e sie ge was part seem in retrospect rather po intl ess, Mont reuil- Bellay has become, for the most part , sim pl y an espe ciall y colorful and well-attested examp le o f med ieval sieg e warf are. But we should not forge t tha t in 115 0 and 1151 , Geoffr ey moved against Girar d as par t of a fu ll-blown wa r betwee n Capetians and Ang evins, wi th nothin g less than t he indepe ndence of the A ngevin-Nor man real m and the presti ge of th e French mona rchy at sta ke.

Known as Geoffrey V 'le Bon'. Geoffrey became Count of Anjou, Maine and Touraine in 1129. His father was Fulk V (1092-1144), Count of Anjou andKing of Jerusalem. Fulk V is a lineal descendant of Pepin, King of Lombardy and Italy. This Pepin was the son of Charlemagne (721-814) "Emperor of theWest", and was the great grandson of Charles Martel (688-741). Some genealogists claim that the lineal ancestry is easily traceable from here to Julius Caesar, 1st of the Caesars who lived @300 BC.[Shawswin.ged]
Also known as ' The Handsome'. The name 'Plantagenet', according to Rapin, came from when Fulk the Great, to atone for somewicked action, went on a pilgrimage to Jerusalem and was scourged before the Holy Sepulchre with broom twigs. Some say it was because Geoffrey bore abranch of yellow broom (planta-genistae) in his helmet. He was Duke of Normany from 1144-1150. Became count of Anjou, Maine and Touraine in 1129. His fatherwas Fulk V (1092-1144), Count of Anjou & King of Jeusalem.

The Plantagenet surname was originally a nickname, of the Englishroyal house of Anjou or the Angevin dynasty, founded by Geoffrey V,Count of Anjou (1113-51), husband of Matilda (1102-67), daughter ofKing Henry I of England. The name is derived from the Latin planta("sprig") and genistae ("broom plant"), in reference to the sprig thatGeoffrey always wore in his cap. Burke says the marriage was 3 Apr1127. The name Plantagenet, according to Rapin, came from when Fulkthe Great,being stung from remorse for some wicked action, in orderto atone for it, went a pilgrimage to Jerusalem, and was scourgedbefore the Holy Sepulchre with broom twigs.
Reigning from 1154 to 1485, the Plantagenet kings, in the main line ofdescent, were Henry II, Richard I, John, Henry III, Edward I, EdwardII, Edward III, and Richard II; through the house of Lancaster, HenryIV, Henry V, and Henry VI; and through the house of York, Edward IV,Edward V, and Richard III.

The year 1127 was animportant year for the fourteen -year -old Geoffrey "the Fair" as he wasmarried to the widowed Empre ss Matilda, heir to the King of England. In1128 a deputation from the Holy Land came to Paris to ask King Louis VIIfor a nobleman to marry Melisende, daughter and heir of King Baldwin II.Fulk V, a widower, was chosen and left Anjou and Main e to Geoffrey whilehe married Melisende in 1129, then became King of Jerusalem in 1131. Although Geoffrey and the much older Matilda disliked each other, henevertheless fathered three sons. He was confronted by unruly vassalswhich included his own younger brother Helie, who was eventually capturedand imprisoned at Tours. When released, Helie died of a diseasecontracted in prison. In 1135 King Henry I of England died and his wife's cousin, Stephen deBlois, seized the crown. Geoffrey campaigned in Normandy on Matilda'sbehalf but even his fourth campaign in 1138 was no success. In 1139Matilda invaded England and in 11 41 imprisoned Stephen, after which manycastles in Normandy surrendered to Geoffrey. In1144, after the fall ofRouen, Geoffrey was invested as Duke of Normandy. From 1147 until 1149 he went on crusade with King Louis VII of France. In1150 he passed the Duchy of Normandy to his eldest son, Henry. Geoffreydied on 7 September 1151 and was buried in the Cathedral of Le Mans. Source: Leo van de Pas Burke says the marriage was 3 Apr 1127.

The Plantagenet royal dynasty provided 14 kings descended from Geoffrey,5th count of Anjou, and the empress Matilda, daughter of the English kingHenry I. Plantagenet was not a hereditary surname and seems to haveoriginated as a nickname for Count Geoffrey. The name is believed torefer either to the sprig of broom (Latin genista) that he wore in hishat or to his practice of planting broom to improve his hunting covers. Historians differ on the naming of kings as Plantagenet,with some givingthe name to Count Geoffrey's descendants beginning with Edward I.,Richard Plantagenet, or Richard, 3rd duke of York, was the first to usethe surname officially when he claimed the throne in 1460. ThePlantagenet line became extinct when its legitimate male heir, Edward,earl of Warwick, was executed in 1499.

Geoffrey's father, Fulk V, had married the daughter and heir of the Countof Maine and so the two counties were united. The year 1127 was animportant year for the fourteen -year -old Geoffrey "the Fair" as he wasmarried to the widowed Empress Matilda, heir to the King of England. In1128 a deputation from the Holy Land came to Paris to ask King Louis VIIfor a nobleman to marry Melisende, daughter and heir of King Baldwin II.Fulk V, a widower, was chosen and left Anjou and Maine to Geoffrey whilehe married Melisende in 1129, then became King of Jerusalem in 1131.
Although Geoffrey and the much older Matilda disliked each other, henevertheless fathered three sons. He was confronted by unruly vassalswhich included his own younger brother Helie, who was eventually capturedand imprisoned at Tours. Whenreleased, Helie died of a diseasecontracted in prison.
In 1135 King Henry I of England died and his wife's cousin, Stephen deBlois, seized the crown. Geoffrey campaigned in Normandy on Matilda'sbehalf but even his fourth campaign in 1138 was no success. In 1139Matilda invaded England and in 1141 imprisoned Stephen, after which manycastles in Normandy surrendered to Geoffrey. In 1144, after the fall ofRouen, Geoffrey was invested as Duke of Normandy.
From 1147 until 1149 he went on crusade with King Louis VII of France. In1150 he passed the Duchy of Normandy to his eldest son, Henry. Geoffreydied on 7 September 1151 and was buried in the Cathedral of Le Mans.

"Order of the Bath "The title of the Order is late medieval in origin. It arose from theritual washing (inspired by the washing of baptism), a symbol ofspiritual purification, which formed part of a knight's preparations forthe conferment of knighthood. The honour was not conferred until thecandidates had prepared themselves by various rituals designed to purifythe inner soul by fasting, vigils and prayer, and cleansing themselves bybathing. The earliest mention in an official document, after the crowningof William I, of the ceremony of bathing at the creation of a knight wasthat of 15-year-old Geoffrey count of Anjou (later husband of Mathilda)in 1128. It is recorded that 'after the customary religious ceremonies,Geoffrey immersed his body in a bath and was afterwards habited by theattendants in crimson robes, while a sword was girded about his body andgolden spurs placed upon his heels'."
