• Notes

  Foulques II of Anjou (died 11 November 958), son of Foulques the Red, was Count of Anjou from 942 to his death. He was often at war with the Bretons. He seems to have been a man of culture, a poet and an artist. Foulques II died at Tours. His date of death, 11 November 958, is given by Christian Settipani in his work La Noblesse du Midi Carolingien. He was succeeded by his son Geoffrey Greymantle. [3]
