  • Notes 
    • Much of the information came from the following: "The
      Magnificent Century" by Thomas B. Costain (942.034 Cost), "Devil's Brood"by
      Alfred Duggan (942.03D), "The Last Plantagenets" by Thomas B. Costain(942.04
      Cost)....Became King of England 1154 at age 21. He was made Duke of Normandy before Geoffrey's
      death and inherited the Angevin Territories.

      BIOGRAPHY: According to Encyclopaedia Brittanica, the surname Plantagent, which was first used by Geoffrey, Count of Anjou, was not used by his descendants in England for over 250 years...Henry II and his sons, Richard I and John, are now generally styled by historians as the Angevin kings, but for want of a better name, their successors, notably Edward I, II & III are still described as Plantagenets...The first official use of the surname Plantagenet by any descendant of Geoffrey occurred in 1460, when Richard, Duke of York, claimed the throne in the name of Richard Plantaginet...
