	Poitiers - LoveToKnow 1911
		Poitiers is situated at the junction of the Boivre with the Clain (a tributary of the Loire by the Vienne), and occupies the slopes and summit of a plateau which rises 130 ft. above the level of the streams by which it is surrounded on three sides.
		Poitiers is the seat of a bishop, a prefect, a court of appeal and a court of assizes, and centre of an educational division (academic), and has tribunals of first instance and of commerce, a board of trade arbitration, a chamber of commerce and a branch of the Bank of France.
		Renoul (Ranulph), who was created count of Poitiers by the emperor Louis the Pious in 839, was the ancestor of a family which was distinguished in the 9th and 10th centuries for its attachment to the Carolingian dynasty.

	William, Count of Poitiers - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		William (August 17, 1153 – 1156) was the first child of Henry Plantagenet (later Henry II of England) and Eleanor of Aquitaine, strangely born on the same day that his father's rival Eustace IV of Boulogne died.
		William was a younger maternal half-brother of Marie de Champagne and Alix of France.
		For centuries, the dukes of Aquitaine had held this as one of their minor titles, so it had passed to Eleanor from her father; giving it to her son was effectively a revival of the title, separating it from the dukedom.

		The first child, William, Count of Poitiers, was probably born in 1152.
		The child, however, died in infancy, probably in April 1156, and was buried at Reading at the feet of his great-grandfather Henry I. Prior to the death of William, the second son of Eleanor and the king was born.
		As he had been the presumptive heir of his brother Richard, who was single at the time, his premature death at the age of 23 both opened the way for his younger brother John to succeed Richard on the English throne and sparked a military contest for the throne.

		A little later, at the close of the same century, we have the poems of William IX (1071-1126), count of Poitiers, duke of Guienne.
		And in fact there are love songs among the pieces by William of Poitiers; and the same type preponderates among the compositions of the troubadourss who came immediately after him.
		But in any case it is easy to understand that, the countries of the langue d'oil having a full developed literature of their own suited to the taste of the people, the troubadours generally preferred to go to regions where they had less to fear in the way of competition.

		Geoffrey V (August 24, 1113 - September 7, 1151), Count of Anjou and Maine, and later Duke of Normandy, called "Geoffrey the Fair" or "Geoffrey Plantagent", was the son of Fulk V, Count of Anjou and King of Jerusalem.
		Fulk of Anjou, king of Jerusalem (1092-1143), was the son of Fulk IV, count of Anjou, and his wife Bertrada (who ultimately deserted her husband and became the mistress of Philip I of France).
		William felt that the major fault of Fulk's reign was his inattention to the defense of the states to the north against the invasions of Zengi, which culminated in the fall of the County of Edessa in 1143.

		It was the raid in 1356 by the heir to the English throne, the Black Prince, that led to the Battle of Poitiers.
		Like most Medieval battles, Poitiers was fought in a very small area and these 3-D maps are better designed for "larger" battles of the 18th or 19th Century (keeping in mind that no Medieval tactical weapons had ranges beyond a few hundred meters).
		At the time of Poitiers, France was decimated by the Plauge, and Nicolle goes as far to say that almost half of France's population where wiped out because of it.
