• Notes

  Geoffroy succeeded his father Foulques II as count of Anjou sometime be t w e e n S eptember 958, when Foulques was still alive, and September 960, w h e n a c o u nt Gausfredus signed a donation to the monastery of Saint-Flor e n t d e S a umur by a certain �remburge. Or as Bachrach put it, he succeed e d h i s f a ther as Count of Anjou about 960, at the age of 20. He cultivated the loyal support of a group of magnates, some of whom he i n h e r i ted from his father, others whom he recruited; men such as Alberic o f V i h i e rs, Cadilo of Blaison, Roger I (le "vieux") of Loudon, Joscelin o f R e n n e s, castellan of Baug??, Suhard I of Craon, Tobert of Buzen�ais a nd m e m b e rs of the Bouchard clan, and encouraged them to see their own d yna s t i c i nterests as tied to the success of the Angevin count.
