Talk:Anjou
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The place is Anjou. duc d'Anjou = duke of Anjou. Angevin(s) is the corresponding adjective.
That's what I say. Removed all of the following because it is neither complete nor completely accurate. Moreover, it doesn't follow any of the naming conventions we've discussed. Finally, Anjou is the place, the entry on the rulers should be Angevin -- or subsumed into Plantagenet and Capetian.User:JHK

Anjou - A french noble family, also called Angevins, divided into two main dynasties of Counts.
One of the two dynasties ruled over parts of France and over Jerusalem and England, the other one ruled over parts of France and over Naples (Two Sicilies), Hungary and Poland.
Older family originates from Fulk.
The second dynasty begins with Charles, a Capetian.

I agree it needs thorough rewriting, but I think the possible confusion of the two groups of Angevins is itself a good reason for having an outline under Anjou (the one thing that really links them). User:David Parker
- I agree. I just didn't have time to go into it. I think there's a very good place for all of this, and it's within a general article (history section) on Anjou. What you've added fits in perfectly :-) User:JHK
