• Notes

  Notes for Foulques V Count d'Anjou: King of Jerusalem ; "le Jeune" "The Plantagenet Encyclopedia" by Elizabeth Hallam, Grove Weidenfeld, New York, 1990, p.81 "Fulk married the only daughter of Elias, count of Maine, in 1109, thereby ultimately uniting Anjou and Maine. In 1120 he went on pilgrimage to the Holy Land. In 1128 a delegation from Baldwin II, King of Jerusalem, arrived in France, asking Louis VII to choose one of the French nobility to marry his daughter Melisande and become heir to the throne of Jerusalem. Fulk, by then a widower, was chosen. He married Melisande in 1129 and succeeded as King of Jerusalem in 1131. To defend the holy city from the Muslim champion, Zengi, Fulk allied with the emir of Damascus and the Emperor of Constantinople during the early 1130s. Turkish raiders took him prisoner in 1137, but then freed him."
