# bio (long form, separated for readability)
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.
