  Anjou - LoveToKnow 1911
ANJOU, the old name of a French territory, the political origin of which is traced to the ancient Gallic state of the Andes, on the lines of which was organized, after the conquest by Julius Caesar, the Roman civitas of the Andecavi.
From the outset of the reign of Charles the Bald, the integrity of Anjou was seriously menaced by a two-fold danger: from Brittany and from Normandy.
Authorities.-(I) Principal Sources: The history of Anjou may be told partly with the aid of the chroniclers of the neighbouring provinces, especiall y those of Normandy (William of Poitiers, William of Jumieges, Ordericus Vitalis) and of Maine (especially Actus pontificum Cenomannis in urbe degentium).

 Capet - LoveToKnow 1911
CAPET, the name of a family to which, for nearly nine centuries, the kings of France, and many of the rulers of the most powerful fiefs in that country, belonged, and which mingled with several of the other royal races of Europe.
Of great importance also was the house of the counts of Anjou, which was founded in 1246, by Charles, son of the French king Louis VIII., and which, in 1630, was raised to the dignity of a dukedom (see ANJou).
In 1308 Charles Robert of Anjou was elected king of Hungary, his claim being based on the marriage of his grandfather Charles II., king of Naples and count of Anjou, with Maria, daughter of Stephen V., king of Hungary.

 Angevin
The name "Plantagenet" originates from the nickname "Plante-geneste" often applied to Geoffrey of Anjou, father of King Henry II of England, in reference to the broom plant that became his emblem, possibly from his customarily wearing a sprig of it.
The second (or French) Angevin dynasty began with Charles, created count of Anjou by his elder brother king Louis IX of France in 1246.
The last duke of the line died in 1481, and Anjou reverted to the French crown.

Angevin (IPA: [ˈæn.dÊ’É™.vɪn]) is the name applied to the residents of Anjou, a former province of the Kingdom of France, as well as to the residents of Angers.
It originated with Geoffrey of Anjou, father of King Henry II of England, because he adopted the flower as his emblem, often wearing a sprig of it.
This House of Anjou included the branches of Anjou-Hungary, which ruled Hungary (1308–1385, 1386–1395) and Poland (1370–1399); Anjou-Taranto, which ruled the remnants of the Latin Empire (1313–1374); and Anjou-Durazzo, which ruled Naples (1382–1435) and Hungary (1385–1386).

 Hugh Capet
Hugh possessed towns and estates in the vicinity of Paris, Orléans, and in the district of Senlis and Chartres, Touraine and Anjou, but on the whole these were restricted domains, as his vassals on the borders of the Seine and the Loire contested his authority.

 capet
In 987 Hugo Capet was elected as king of France; his ascension traditionally marks the beginning of the Capetian dynasty.
It is well known that the political situation was characterised firstly by the lack of a strong central authority, one of the reasons why the Capetians could assert themselves against the Carolingian dynasty, and secondly by the rise of the feudal system.
With the election of Hugh Capet the great nobles of France did not commit themselves to this one family; nevertheless the Capetians were intelligent (and lucky) enough to establish their own dynasty.

 Angevin
Angevin is the name applied to three distinct medieval dynasties which originated as counts (from 1360, dukes) of the western French province of Anjou (of which angevin is the adjectival form), but later came to rule far greater areas including England, Hungary and Poland (see Angevin Empire).
The second Angevin dynasty, known also as the house of Capet-Anjou, began with Charles, created count (from 1360 the family were dukes) of the western French province of Anjou by his elder brother king Louis IX of France in 1246; they were members of the French ruling house of Capet.
In the 1350s, a junior branch of the Capet-Anjou was originated when King John II of France, of Valois line of Capetians, whose grandmother had been a princess of the senior Angevin line (eldest daughter of Charles II of Naples), gave the Duchy of Anjou to his second son, Louis.
