Pedigree: Fulk (Foulques) III `the Black' (Count) d' ANJOU

The PEDIGREE of

Fulk (Foulques) III `the Black' (Count) d' ANJOU

`Nerra'

Note: Fulk Nerra was notoriously evil, slaying close relatives (including his wife, found sleeping with a shepherd boy), and terrorizing his subjects. He had the King of France's friend Hugh de Beauvais killed in front of the King, to humiliate the King for mistreating his wife (Fulk's cousin). He also indulged in strange acts of penance, once being dragged and whipped through the streets of Jerusalem, begging for God's forgiveness.

Born: 967 (or '81?) Died: 1040 Metz

HM George I's 20-Great Uncle. HRE Ferdinand I's 16-Great Uncle. HRE Charles VI's 20-Great Uncle. U.S. President's 22-Great Uncle. PM Churchill's 26-Great Uncle. Poss. HM Margrethe II's 25-Great Grandfather. Agnes Harris's 22-Great Uncle. `Osawatomie' Brown's 26-Great Uncle.

The world is a dangerous place, not because of those who do evil, but because of those who look on and do nothing.
