## Bio

Fulk held Anjou from 1109 and Maine from 1110 through his first wife, Countess Erembourg. In 1129 he left France for Jerusalem, marrying Queen Melisende in 1131 and becoming co-ruler of the Crusader kingdom. The arrangement was fractious—he was king, but she held her own inherited right, and the balance never quite settled. He died in a hunting accident on 13 November 1143. His bloodline split two ways: one branch became the Angevin kings of England, the other continued the fragile Latin rule in Jerusalem.
