angevin

And before that there was the larger Angevin Empire which included Britain, Ireland, and the western half of France.

For most of this era, I find it helpful to think in terms of the Angevin empire, not England.

For a while, England was a backwater of the Angevin empire and kings of England were native French speakers for quite a long time.

When Eleanor's new husband became King Henry II of England in 1154, the area became an English possession, and the cornerstone of the so-called Angevin Empire.

Smaller fee simple properties exist in England as well, often as the result of the grant of peerage in ye olde dayes (the Norman and Angevin periods mostly).

I don't know, I'd like to call this Angevin idiocy or something.

Through marriages and such the Duke of Normandy took over large parts of France and it became the Angevin Empire, but still just a puny vassal to the King of France.

Were Britain and France friendly, or even in a union such as the Angevin Empire, their resulting navy would likely be much smaller than the combined sizes of their historical navy, since it would be pointless to maintain a navy of that size if no feasible set of combatants could challenge it.

Especially the "Angevin Empire"[0], when Kings of England also ruled large portions of Kingdom of France.

Last week, my fiancée telling about me a novel she was reading "Google Démocratie" by David Angevin and Laurent Alexandre (2011, French language).

Plantagenet was Angevin, meaning from Anjou in France, because Geoffrey of Anjou married Matilda.

For Norman/Angevin-England the OED also has a quotation for honour as 'onur' listed as before 1200 (and again as 'onour' from around 1300).

French dialect maps I've seen don't mention Mayennese dialect at all, and claim that Mayenne spoke either Gallo or Angevin.
