WHAT DOES ANGEVIN MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Angevin

Angevins

The Angevins /ændʒvɪns/— meaning from Anjou—are considered by many historians to be the distinct Royal House—and part of the House of Plantagenet—that provided the English monarchs Henry II of England, Richard I of England and King John. They were a family of Frankish origin descended from a ninth-century noble named Ingelger. The chronicler Gerald of Wales borrowed elements of the Melusine legend to give a demonic origin to the Angevins, and several of them were prone to joke about the story. The family held the title Count of Anjou from 870. Territorial ambitions to expand the Angevin holdings prompted power struggles with neighbouring provinces and led to influence extending into Maine and Touraine. Fulk V, Count of Anjou had a number of failed attempts to expand his domains via marrying his daughters to the heirs of Normandy and England before he managed to arrange the marriage between his son and heir, Geoffrey, to Henry I of England's daughter and only surviving legitimate child, Matilda. This brought about the convergence of the Angevins, the House of Normandy and the House of Wessex to form the Plantagenet dynasty.
