"ThePlantagenet Chronicles"
"The Crowned Lions" by Caroline Bingham, 1978,
page22, "His acquisition of the surname Plantagenet was characteristically out of the ordinary. Count Geoffrey, in common with most noblemen of his time, was passionately fond of hunting. Desirous of improving the game coverts in his forests, he planted thickets of broom all over his domains. The Latin name of broom is"Planta genesta", and somebody, amused by the young count's enthusiasm for it,nicknamed him Geoffrey 'Plantagenet" or Geoffrey "broom plant'. Perhaps in response to the jest he took to decorating his helmet with a sprig of the brilliant yellow flowers of the broom. In time it was adopted as a family emblem, and Count Geoffrey's nickname, handed on to his descendants, became one of the mostresonant surnames of history."

Fulk Nerra or Fulk the Black is the Count in the family of Anjou, of whom legend decrees married Melusine, the daughter of Satan. From "The Crowned Lions" page 21, Geoffrey Plantagenet was not royal, but the ruling family of Anjou claimed an ancestry more awesome than that of any human royalty. The Angevins believed that they were descended from Melusine, the daughter of Satan. The family legend was that one of the earlier Counts of Anjou, Fulk Nerra or Fulk the Black, had gone on a journey and returned from his unknown destination with a wife of surpassing beauty. The Countess Melusine boreher husband four children, and made him an admirable consort in every way but one: in an age of piety she seldom attended Mass, and whenever she did so, she made sure to leave before the consecration of the bread and wine. This was highly suspect behaviour, and at last Fulk reluctanly ordered four of his knights to hold Melusine in her place the next time she attempted to leave Mass. The result was dramatic: the knights obeyed their lord, but Melusine tore herself free of them and flew out the window of the church, carrying two of her children away with her. So her identity was revealed, for no devil can endure to look up on the consecrated Body and Blood of Christ. However, in her escape, Melusine had left two children behind, to provide a human link between the house of Anjou and Hell itself. The most unfortunate consequence of this legend was that the Angevins believed that any violent acts which they chose to commit were the inevintable consequences of being descendants of the Devil: hysterical rages, atrocities perpetrated in blind fury, sexual excesses, all were inescapable legacies from Satan."

Geoffrey IV, also called GEOFFREY PLANTAGENET, byname GEOFFREY THE FAIR,French GEOFFROI PLANTAGENET, or GEOFFROI le BEL (b. Aug. 24, 1113--d.Sept. 7, 1151, Le Mans, Maine [France]), count of Anjou (1131-51), Maine,and Touraine and ancestor of the Plantagenet kings of England through hismarriage, in June 1128, to Matilda (q.v.), daughter of Henry I ofEngland. On Henry's death (1135), Geoffrey claimed the duchy of Normandy;he finally conquered it in 1144 and ruled there as duke until he gave itto his son Henry (later King Henry II of England) in 1150.

Geoffrey was popular with the Normans, but he had to suppress a rebellionof malcontent Angevin nobles. After a short war with Louis VII of France,Geoffrey signed a treaty (August 1151) by which he surrendered the wholeof Norman Vexin (the border area between Normandy and Île-de-France) toLouis.

--------------------------------------------------------------

The Plantagenet family name was originally just a nickname for Geoffrey.He many times wore a sprig with yellow flowers in his hat. The flowerwas named "genet" or "genistae" in the French of the times--thus hisnickname was "Plant-a-Genet". Genet was supposedly a traditional flowerof the Anjou family dating back to the time of Fulk, The Great, Count ofAnjou 898-941 who was scourged (in order to atone for past sins) withbroom twigs of the Genet while on pilgrimage in Jerusalem. Most peopleof the times had personal nicknames such as "Beauclerc", "Curtmantel","Longshanks", and "Lackland", but Geoffrey's stuck and eventually (manygenerations later) became the family name. Geoffrey's immediatedescendants were probably not known as the Plantagenet family at the timethey lived, it was only later that the Plantagenet family name wasapplied to all descendants of Geoffrey.
