                            The Angevins ("from Anjou") were an English royal house of French origin which ruled England in the 12th and early 13th centuries; its monarchs were Henry II, Richard I (Lionheart) and John. (cf. Wikipedia).  This book traces their history back to the reign of Henry I and The Anarchy (Stephen and  Maud/Matilda), and also covers the history of Anjou and its acquisition through the marriage of Maud and Geoffrey, Count of Anjou.
