Count Foulques II 'the Good' d'Anjou

(910 - 11 Nov 958)

Foulques was the son of Foulques I, count of Anjou, and Roselle de Loche. In 937 he married Gerberge de Tours. Four of their children would have progeny, including his heir Geoffrey I. He was often at war with the Bretons. He seems to have been a man of culture, a poet and an artist. By reputation a saintly man, he dressed as a cleric. Of Louis IV, king of France, who had mocked his piety, Foulques commented, 'an illiterate king is a crowned ass'. Foulques died on 11 November 958.
