Misc. Notes
Count of Anjou and Duke of Normandy, 1144. The name
"Plantagenet" derives from
his wearing a twig (sprig) of yellow broom (plante genet) in his
helmet as a
plume.
He and Maud, in 1128, tried to lay claim to Normandy and
England. Their son
Henry II finally became King after invading England and forcing
cousin King
Stephen to acknowledge him as heir, 1154.
