Fulk II, Count of Anjou

Fulk II of Anjou ( 905 – 960), called ("the Good"), was Count of Anjou from 942 to his death.

Life Fulk II, born , was a son of Fulk the Red and his wife Roscilla de Loches, daughter of Warnerius, Seigneur de Villentrois. He succeeded his father in 942 as the second Count of Anjou, and remained in power until 960.

By this time, the Angevins, Fulk II included, had become particularly adept at establishing marriage alliances that furthered their goals. His father, Fulk the Red, had arranged his marriage to Gerberga, daughter of Geoffrey of Nevers and Aba. Among other things, this alliance enabled Fulk to open the doors towards Aquitaine for his daughter, Adelaide-Blanche, to marry a future king of France and for his son Guy to become Bishop of le Puy.

After Gerberga's death , Fulk made another astute political marriage to the widow of Alan II, Duke of Brittany. Alan II had also been Count of Nantes and through this marriage Fulk gained influence in, and possibly control of, Nantes. His second wife was also the sister of Theobald I, Count of Blois, which permitted Fulk II to form an alliance with the House of Blois. He is said to have ordered the murder of Drogo, Duke of Brittany, Alan II's son with the latter, according to the Chronique de Nantes.

Family Fulk and Gerberge had: Adelaide-Blanche of Anjou, married Stephen count of Gevaudan and Forez Geoffrey I, Count of Anjou, married Adelaide of Vermandois Bouchard, Count of Vendome. Guy of Anjou, Bishop of le Puy Humbert d'Anjou, mentioned 957.

Fulk II had no known issue with his second wife.

Death Fulk died in 960. He was succeeded by his son Geoffrey Greymantle.
