Count of Anjou and Maine
Geoffrey Plantagenet, the Handsome, Count of Anjou 1129-1151. King Henry I, in 1127, when a new alliance was made at Rouen, betrothed his daughter Maud, or Matilda, to Geoffrey Plantagenet, and the marriage was celebrated at Le Mans, France, June 2, 1127. She was called the Empress Maud, being the widow of Henry V, Emperor of the Roman Empire and later of Germany, whom she had married Jan. 7, 1114. From the first Geoffrey tried to profit by his marriage, and after the death of Henry I, Dec. 1, 1135, laid the foundation for the conquest of Normandy, by a series of campaigns; about the end of 1135 or beginning of 1136 he entered that country and rejoined his wife, the Countess Maud. After many battles he received the submission of Argentan, Domfront, Bayeux, Caen and Falaise. In March, 1141, on hearing of his wife's success in England he entered Normandy, and many towns surrendered, and in 1144 he entered Rouen and received the ducal crown of Normandy in its cathedral. Finally in 1149, after crushing a last attempt at revolt, he handed over the Duchy to his son Henry, who received the investiture at tfhe hands of the King of France. Geoffrey Plantagenet had, by Maud, who died Sept. 10, 1167, a son and successor Henry, Count of Anjou, who ascended the throne of England as Henry II. (He also had a natural son, Hameline Plantagenet, who married Isabel de Warren, and took the name of de Warren, and became through his wife the Earl of Warren and Surrey, from whom you descend in several different ways.) Geoffrey Plantagenet, a prince of great justice and charity, died Sept., 1150, and was buried at Mans, in St. Julien's Church.
