    Other Events and Attributes:

    • Differentiator: Fulk may have married as many as five times; there is some doubt regarding the exact number or how many he repudiated.
    • Relation to Me: 29 GGF
    • Name: le Réchin The nickname by which he is usually referred has no certain translation. Philologists have made numerous very different suggestions, including "quarreler", "rude", "sullen", "surly" and "heroic". He was noted to be " a man with many reprehensible, even scandalous, habits" by Orderic Vitalis.
    • Royalty & Nobility: Between 1068 and 1109; Count of Anjou

    Notes:

    In 1096 Fulk wrote an incomplete history of Anjou and its rulers titled Fragmentum historiae Andegavensis or "History of Anjou." The authorship and authenticity of this work is disputed. Only the first part of the history, describing Fulk's ancestry, is still in existance. The second part, supposedly describing Fulk's own rule, has not been recovered. If he did write it, it is one of the first medieval works of history written by a layman.

    The younger brother of count Geoffroy III "le Barbu", Fulk rebelled against his brother and captured him in 1067, and then again in 1068, when he imprisoned his brother again (not releasing him until 1096), and assumed control of the Angevin possessions. He persuaded the French king Phillipe I to accept this arrangement by ceding his paternal heritage of Gâtinais to the king. His later years were troubled by rebellion from his elder son Geoffroy (IV) Martel, who predeceased him, and Fulk was succeeded by his second son Foulques V in 1109.
