The Lost Empire: The Angevin Empire

 

The Angevin Empire was administered by the Angevins of the House of Plantagenet. The Angevin Empire is a neologism characterizing the grounds of the House of Plantagenet: Henry II and his children Richard I and John. An alternate child, Geoffrey II, Duke of Brittany, ruled Brittany and created a different line there. The extent that history specialists know, there was no contemporary term for the locale under Angevin control; then again, portrayals, for example, "our kingdom and everything subject to our guideline whatever it might be" were utilized. The term Angevin Empire was begat by Kate Norgate in her 1887 distribution, England under the Angevin Kings. In France, the term Espace Plantagenet is now and again used to depict the fiefdoms the Plantagenets had procured.

 

The appropriation of the Angevin Empire mark denoted a re-assessment of the times, considering that both English and French impact spread all through the territory in the half century amid which the union endured. The term Angevin itself is the modifier connected to the occupants of Anjou and its noteworthy capital, Angers; the Plantagenets were slipped from Geoffrey I, Count of Anjou, thus the term. The utilization of the term Empire has induced discussion among a few students of history, as the region was an accumulation of the grounds inherited and obtained by Henry. It is indistinct whether these domains imparted any normal character.
