==Biography=='''Foulques''' (b. ante 1100 - d. [uncertain] young?). White, writing in Complete Peerage, proposed that if he didn't die young, then he became a monk at Abingdon Abbey.Geoffrey H. White, "Henry I's Illegitimate children", CP 11, Appendix D (pp. 105-121).Cawley, 2006, [http://fmg.ac/Projects/MedLands/ENGLAND,%20Kings%201066-1603.htm#_ftnref238 MedLands Database] Weis. He wrote:
:"FULK the KING'S SON, and Richard the tutor, witnessed a gift to Abingdon Abbey by William, s. of Anskill and Ansfride, the mother of Henry I’s s. Richard, all abovenamed;[Footnote "e": ''Itinerarium Kambriae'', pp. 130-31 ; ''Annales Camlzriae, ut supra'' (under 1158); ''Brut y Tywysogion'' (Rolls Ser.), p. 189 [under 1156; indexed as son of Henry II, who was only 23 years old in I156].)] the gift being made in consideration of his mother having been bur. in the abbey. The obvious inference is that Fulk was a yr. s. of Henry and Ansfride, and was being brought up at the abbey in charge of his tutor. In any event he must have been a son of Henry I. Fulk probably became a monk at Abingdon or d. young."
As explained on the Henry II project webpage, Kathleen Thompson's more recent publication questions these conclusions. :"White [110] would make him a son of Ansfrid, based on the fact that he appears in the same document as her and her son Richard (d. 1120, above). Thompson considers it unlikely that he was Ansfrid's son, since the source does not explicitly say that Fulk was her son."[http://sbaldw.home.mindspring.com/hproject/prov/henry001.htm Henry II project], referring to, Kathleen Thompson, "Affairs of State: the illegitimate children of Henry I", Journal of Medieval History 29 (2003): 129-151.
