Notes |
- Geoffrey "the Fair" Plantagenet was the first to use the Plantagenet name. One story relates that his father, Fulk the Younger atoned for some evil deed by being scourged with broom twigs or planta genista before the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem. Another story relates that Geoffrey wore a sprig of broom or planta genista in his hat. Regardless, it is generally agreed upon that the family name of-"Plantagenet"-has its origins with the planta genista or broom plant. The ancient arms of Anjou borne by the Plantagenet are described as "Gules, a Chief Argent over an Escarbuncle" which means "a red shield with a silver bar at the top and a gold cross of eight rays set with knobs and the arms ending in fleur-de-lis". Shields were sometimes strengthened with iron bands radiating from the centre which eventually became a part of the coat of arms under the term escarbuncle.
