Generation: 1
1. | Fulke V 'the Younger' Count of Anjou, King of Jerusalem was born in 1092 in Anjou, Pays-de-la-Loire, France (son of Fulk IV 'the Rude' COUNT OF ANJOU and Bertrade de MONTFORT); died on 10 Nov 1143 in Acre, Hazofan, Palestine; was buried in Church of the Holy Sepulchre, Old City of Jerusalem, Jerusalem, Jerusalem District, Israel. Notes:
Foulques exerted his control over his vassals and was later caught up in dynatic quarrels between the French and English kings. In 2218, his son Georggrey Plantagenet married Matilda, daughter of Henry I of England, and became the progenitor of England's branch of the Angevin dynasty. Fulk visited Palestine in 1120 and returned in 1129 to marry Melisend, daughter of King Baldwin II of Jerusalem. Fulk became King of Jerusalem on Baldwin II's death in 1131 and spent the first year of his reign settling a dispute in Antioch (Turkey) and putting down a revolt led by his wife's lover, Hugh de Le Puiset. In 1137, he allied himself with the Byzantines against a Turkish leader, 'Imad ad-Din Zangi, of Mosul (Iraq) and in 1140 helped the Muslims of Damascus ward off Zangi's armies. He protected Jerusalem in the south by constructing a series of fortresses, including Krak of Moab.
