#1 The Angevin country began between Normandy and Brittany and extended down through Maine and Anjou. It was during the reign of the Angevins that the English family gained its reputation for violence and wickedness. But the English were so proud of them that they often forgave their wickednesses and peccadilloes.
#2 The Counts of Anjou removed themselves to England to reign there as the Plantagenets, and the sturdy peasants found their land torn by family strife and the march of conquering armies.
#3 Henry I, the youngest son of William the Conqueror, became a sad man when his only son was drowned in the wreck of La Blanche Nef off the Norman coast. He had no appetite, he sat alone and stared at nothing, and his temper was so fitful that the people of the court tried to keep out of his way.
#4 Henry, the old Lion of Justice, lived for fifteen years after he married the Fair Maid of Brabant. He became less active and developed a liking for the mild pleasure of processionals about his domain. His radiantly lovely wife was always by his side, but the royal countenance remained as unsmiling as in the days following the death of his son and the end of all his hopes.
