The text of the Fragmentium Historiae Andegavensis begins: "I Fulk, Angevin count, who was the son of Geoffrey of Chateau-Landon and of Ermengardis, the daughter of Fulk count of Anjou, and nephew of Geoffrey Martel who was the son of the same Fulk, my grandfather, and my mother's brother..." He does not say how he became count of Anjou. But his introduction does show that his 'inheritance' was due to his mother being a daughter of Fulk Nerra. At this time during the Capetian dynasty most counts inherited their countship from their father, not their mother.[11]
