See Elisabeth cts.de Vendome. Son of Geoffrey I, Count of Anjou, and Adelais de Vermandois, Foulques began<br />
his reign by seizing Châteaudun to secure himself against his neighbours<br />
Eudes II Count of Blois and Champagne, and Gelduin Lord of Saumur. In 992,<br />
after winning the battle of Conquereuil against the Bretons, he pillaged and<br />
devastated the area. In his time, castles of wood were still being built as<br />
well as those of stone. Between 992 and 994 Fulk built the stone castle at<br />
Langeais, which is the earliest stone castle to have survived.<br />
In 1026 Foulques took Saumur and built many castles in Anjou for use as<br />
offensive bases: Trèves on the Loire, Durtal also on the Loire above Angers,<br />
and a ring of forts encircling Tours. According to Richard Erdoes, in his<br />
_AD 1000: Living on the Brink of Apocalypse_: 'Not all founders of<br />
monasteries were known for their kindness. Fulk of Anjou, plunderer,<br />
murderer, robber, and swearer of false (sic) oaths, a truly terrifying<br />
character of fiendish cruelty, founded not one but two large abbeys<br />
(Beaulieu-des-Loches near Tours and St.Nicholas at Angers). Foulques was<br />
filled with unbridled passion, a temper directed to extremes. Whenever he<br />
had the slightest difference with a neighbour he would rush upon his lands,<br />
ravaging, pillaging, raping and killing; nothing could stop him, least of<br />
all the commandments of God. This appalling man had countless crimes upon<br />
his conscience, but when seized with a fit of remorse, he abandoned himself<br />
to incredible penance. Thus the very tomb of St. Martin, whose monks he had<br />
ill-treated, saw him prostrate, with bare feet and in penitent's dress; and<br />
during his life he went to Jerusalem several times as a devout pilgrim,<br />
treading half-naked the sorrowful road of the passion while two of his<br />
servants flogged him until the blood flowed, crying: 'Lord, receive thy<br />
perjured Foulques!'.<br />
He boiled his first wife to death for infidelity, and went on pilgrimage to<br />
Jerusalem three times: in 1002, about 1008 and in 1039" in 999 (van de Pas .). , m. Hildegarde de Lorraine in 1000. , d. on 21 Jun 1040 Jerusalem.<br />
