Foulques V "le Jenn"

Notes:

Fulk "le Jeun" (the Younger) became King of Jerusalem in 1131 on the death of Baldwin II, his father-in-law by his second marriage. The Crusaders set up the Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem after killing many thousands of the Arab and Jewish inhabitants of the area. At its greatest extent under Fulk "le Jeun", the Kingdom comprised most of present day Israel and part of Syria. Muslim counterattack steadily shrank the size of the crusading kingdom. In 1187, Jerusalem was retaken by by Saladin. Eventually, the last Christian stronghold at Acre surrendered in 1291 and the Crusaders departed from the Holy Land.

Notes:

Bertrade de Montfort (c. 1070 - 14 February 1117) was the daughter of Simon I de Montfort and Agnes, Countess of Evreux. Her brother was Amaury de Montfort. The oft-married Fulk IV, Count of Anjou, was married 1089, when the lovely Bertrade de Monfort caught his eye. According to the chronicler John of Marmoutier: "The lecherous Fulk then fell passionately in love with the sister of Amaury de Montfort, whom no good man ever praised save for her beauty." Bertrade and Fulk were married. William of Malmesbury says: "Bertrade, still young and beautiful, took the veil at Fontevraud Abbey, always charming to men, pleasing to God, and like an angel." A son from this marriage was Fulk V of Anjou who later became King of Jerusalem. The dynasties founded by Fulk IV's sons ruled for centuries, one of them in England (the Plantagenet Kings), the other in Jerusalem In 1092 Bertrade left Fulk IV and took up with King Philip I of France whom she married 15 May 1092, despite the fact that they both had living spouses. Pope Urban II excommunicated Philp in 1095 an action that prevented him from taking part in the First Crusade. According to Orderic Vitalis, Bertrade was anxious that one of her sons succeed Philip so she sent a letter to King Henry I of England asking him to arrest her stepson Louis. Orderic also claims she sought to kill Louis first through the arts of sorcery, and then through poison. Whatever the truth of these allegations, Louis succeeded Philip in 1108. -Wikipedia
