  Anjou tourism : historical landmarks
During the thirteenth century and the second House of Anjou (its greatest), princes wielded power in Provence and Italy and became kings of Sicily, Naples, Hungary and Poland where they exercised considerable influence and were part of the most important dynasty in medieval Europe.
The aftermath of the French Revolution was marked in Anjou by uprisings in Les Mauges that began in 1793, and were known as the wars of the Vendée.
Battles were numerous and the bloody confrontations were to leave behind an indelible memory.

 Robert The Strong - LoveToKnow 1911
By his conduct in many stubborn fights with these foes, Robert thoroughly earned his surname and gained the confidence of the king, who gave him the counties of Nevers and Auxerre.
He was killed in battle at Brissarthe in October 866, leaving two sons, Odo, or Eudes, and Robert, both of whom became kings of the Franks.
Robert has been compared to the Maccabees, and the fact that he was the ancestor of the Capetian kings of France has invested him with historical importance.

The principality, which he thus carved out for himself, was occupied, on his death, by Erispoé, duke of Brittany; by him it was handed down to his successors, in whose hands it remained until the beginning of the 10th century.
The latter having seized upon Nantes, of which the counts of Anjou held themselves to be suzerains, Fulk Nerra came and laid siege to it, routing Conan's army at the battle of Conquereuil (27th of June 992) and re-establishing Nantes under his own suzerainty.
Shortly afterwards it was separated from it again, when in August 1246 King Louis IX gave it as an appanage to his nephew Charles, count of Provence, soon to become king of Naples and Sicily.

After the death of Jugurtha (106 BCE) as a Roman captive, western Numidia was added to the lands of Bocchus, king of Mauretania, while the remainder (excluding Cyrene and its locality) continued to be governed by native princes until the civil war between Caesar and Pompey.
After Pompey was defeated by Caesar, he committed suicide (46 BCE) in Numidia, and it became briefly the province of Africa Nova until Augustus restored Juba II (son of Juba I) after the Battle of Actium.
Soon afterwards, in 25 BCE, Juba was transferred to the throne of Mauretania, and Numidia was divided between Mauretania and the province of Africa Nova.

Shortly afterwards it was separated from it again, when in August 1246 King Louis IX.
