The County of Anjou derives its name from its administrative centre, the city of Angers (in Latin : Andegavia).
First mentioned in the 8th century, with the partition of the Frankish Kingdom in 843/880 it became part of the
West Frankish Kingdom (France). The dynasty holding Anjou in the Middle Ages was called the Angevins. In the 13th
and 14th century, the Angevins became a prominent dynasty in European politics, temporarily ruling the Kingdoms
of Naples and Hungary. In 1350 Anjou was raised to the status of Duchy. Throughout much of the Middle Ages, the counts respectively dukes of Anjou rarely stayed in the territory, Duke Rene from 1443 to 1470 (when he moved his residence to Provence) being an exception. In 1480 King Louis XI. of France added Anjou to the royal domain. From 1480 onward, Anjou repeatedly was given as a titular duchy to one of the royal princes; these princes usually resided in Paris. In Revolutionary France in 1792 the Duchy of Anjou was abolished, its territory converted into the Departement Maine-et-Loire, small parts of Anjou being allocated to the departements Mayenne, Sarthe, Indre-et-Loire, Vienne, Deux-Sevres Historical Atlas, France Page |
