Origin of Angevin¹

from French, from medieval Latin Andegavinus , from Andegavum , Angers capital of Anjou

He passed the night banqueting with the duke and the Angevin gentlemen, then in dancing with the Angevin ladies.

Justin had written to him, and then had been incidentally renforced by the assistance of Mr. Angevin L. Cater.

Fulk himself died in 1142, but he left sons who succeeded him, so that the Angevin rule in the East did not end with his death.

Is it not, as we have shown in the discussion of the Angevin allusions, distinctly against such a conclusion?

In England royal power was strong; the size of the Angevin empire was vast, and the succession assured.
