Notes:

                   Count Fulk the Young, father of Count Geoffrey "Plantegenet" and grandfather of
HenryFitz Empress, upon the death of his first wife, Ermengarde of Mdaine, the
mother of Count Geoffrey, handed over the County of Anjou to Geoffrey, his son
and heir, and leaving France forever in 1128, went to the Kindom of Outremer,
where he married Melisinde, daughter and heairess of king Baldwin II of the
house of Rethel and in 1131 he ascended the throne of Jerusalem.  Henceforth
the remainder of his live was passed in the desperate and loosing struggle of
maintaining the kingdom of the Latin east against the advancing hordes of
Islam.  He died on 13 Nov. 1144 and was buried in the church of the Holy
Sepulcher, having bequeathed his kingdom to the children of his second
marriage, whose subsequent history lay far away from the pleasant fields of
Anjou and was interwoven with that of the falling kingdom of Outremer.
