HISTORY: ANJOU - NOBILITY
Anjou was formed as a county in 878 by Ingelger, founder of the Angevin dynasty from which the Plantagenets and English kings from Henry II onwards descended. In 1203, the county was confiscated, but in 1246 it was given by will to Charles d'Anjou, brother of Saint Louis. Thereafter, the matrimonial alliances of the princes of Anjou enabled the house to reign in various parts of Europe: Naples, Hungary, Taranto, etc. In 1328, Anjou was reunited with the crown by Philippe VI de Valois, but became a duchy again in 1360 for the second son of Jean le Bon. The last descendant of this family, King René, died in 1481, and Anjou was definitively attached to the Crown in 1482, although the title was still held by several princes of the blood, such as the future Philip V of Spain.
