GEOFFREY, surnamed PLANTAGENET (or PLANTEGENET) (1113-1151), count of Anjou, was the son of Count Fulk the Young and of Eremburge (or Arembourg) of La Fleche; he was born on Aug. 24, 1113. He is also called "le bel" or "the hand some," and received the surname of Plantagenet from the habit which he is said to have had of wearing in his cap a sprig of broom (genet). He married (June 2, 1129) Matilda, daughter of Henry I. of England, and widow of the emperor Henry V. He died on Sept. 7, 1151, and was buried in the cathedral of Le Mans. By his wife Matilda he had three sons : Henry Plantagenet (see HENRY II.) , Geoffrey, and William.
