https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fulk_II,_Count_of_Anjou
Fulk II of Anjou (c. 905 — 960), called le Bon (the good) was count of Anjou from 942 
to his death.[a]

Fulk II born c.?905[1] was a son of Fulk the Red and his wife Roscilla de Loches, 
daughter of Warnerius, Seigneur de Villentrois.[2] He succeeded his father in 942 as 
the second count of Anjou,[3] also called the count of Angers, and remained in power 
until 960.[4]

The Angevins, Fulk II included, had become particularly adept at establishing marriage 
alliances that furthered their goals.[5] His father, Fulk the Red had arranged his 
marriage to a Carolingian, Gerberga, the daughter of Ratburnus I Viscount of Vienne.
[6] Among other things this alliance opened the doors for their daughter Adelaide-
Blanche to marry a future king of France and their son Guy to become Bishop of le 
Puy.[6]

After her death c.?952 Fulk made another astute political marriage to Adelaide, the 
widow of Alan II, Duke of Brittany. Alan II had also been Count of Nantes and through 
this marriage Fulk gained influence in, and possibly control of, Nantes.[7] Adelaide 
was also the sister of Theobald I, Count of Blois which permitted Fulk II to form an 
alliance with the House of Blois.[6]

By his spouse, Gerberge, a woman of unknown origins.[8] Fulk II had several children:
Adelaide-Blanche of Anjou, married five times.[2]
Geoffrey I, Count of Anjou, married Adelaide of Vermandois.[2]
Bouchard, Count of Vendome.[2]
Guy of Anjou, Bishop of le Puy.[2]
Humbert d'Anjou, mentioned 957.[2]

Fulk II had no known issue with Adelaide.

Fulk died in 960,at the relatively old age of 55.[9] He was succeeded by his 20-year-
old son Geoffrey Greymantle.[2]
