Foulques Nerra, le Rambo du Moyen Âge

Fulk Nerra, who lived around the year 1000, spent half his life waging war and the other half making pilgrimages to the Holy Land, seeking God's forgiveness for the massacres he had committed against his neighbors. A brutal and cruel man to his enemies, Fulk Nerra nevertheless commands respect for his support of the Capetians and his human and political relationships, which were based on family and loyalty. His actions, in fact, transformed the County of Anjou. This colorful character led an extraordinary life and had a profound impact on his era, and that's what I invite you to discover today!
