Fulk
Notes:

He was the son of Foulques I, d. after August 941, count of Anjou, and Roscille, d. after 929, daughter of Warnerius and Tescenda.[1] "Foulques first appears in a charter of his father in 929, which also mentioned his mother Roscilla, her parents Garnier (Warnerius) and Tescenda, and Gui (Wido), son of the elder Foulques....Foulques I was still living in August 941 when he and his son Foulques signed a charter...and it was probably not long after that that Foulques II succeeded (since the career of the elder Foulques is documented from 886), but the exact date is not known, due to the difficulty of identifying which man was the count Fulco of charters during the 940s."[1] Fulk II born c.â€‰905[1] was a son of Fulk the Red and his wife Roscilla de Loches, daughter of Warnerius, Seigneur de Villentrois.[2] He succeeded his father in 941 as the second count of Anjou,[3] also called the count of Angers, and remained in power until 960.[4] [3] The Angevins, Fulk II included, had become particularly adept at establishing marriage alliances that furthered their goals.[5] His father, Fulk the Red had arranged his marriage to a Carolingian, Gerberga, the daughter of Ratburnus I Viscount of Vienne.[6] Among other things this alliance opened the doors for their daughter Adelaide-Blanche to marry a future king of France and their son Guy to become Bishop of le Puy

Notes:

After her death c.â€‰952 Fulk made another astute political marriage to Adelaide, 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.[7] Adelaide was also the sister of Theobald I, Count of Blois which permitted Fulk II to form an alliance with the House of Blois.[6] [3] "After the death of duke Alain Barbetorte of Brittany in 952, Foulques married his widow, a sister of count Thibaut le Tricheur of Blois and Chartres, obtained the guardianship of his wifes son Drogo, and divided Brittany with Thibaut into spheres of influence, with Foulques taking the city of Nantes."[1] He married the sister of sister of Thibaut "le Tricheur", count of Blois and Chartres, and widow of Alain Barbetorte, d. 952, duke of Brittany
