Fulk I of Anjou (c. 870 – 942) — Foulques le Roux (French, "Fulk the
Red", i.e., "Red Falcon") — held the county of Anjou first as Viscount,
then Count, until his death. He was the first count of Anjou.
- “Red hair was a distinguishing
characteristic of the Angevin Counts. Fulk I. derived his name of Rufus
from this peculiarity, which was inherited by many of his descendants,
among them Fulk V., his son Geoffrey Plantagenet, and his grandson Henry
Fitz-Empress.” https://books.google.it/books…
