Chap. 19.
Of Fulco, the fourth King of Ierusalem.
FUlco Earl of Tours, Main, and Anjou, coming some three
years before on pilgrimage to Jerusalem, there took in mar∣riage
Millesent the Kings daughter. He had assigned to him the
city of Tyre, and some other princely accommodations for
his present maintenance, and the Kingdome after the death of
his father in law, which he received accordingly. He was wel∣nigh
60 years old: And by his first wife he had a sonne,
Geffrey Plantagenet Earl of Anjou; to whom he left his lands in
France, and from whom our Kings of England are descended.
This Fulco was a very valiant man, able both of body and
mind. His greatest defect was a weak memory, (though not so
bad as that of† Messala Corvinus, who forgot his own name)
descriptionPage 69
insomuch that he knew not his own servants; and those whom
he even now preferred, were presently after strangers unto him.
Yet though he had a bad memory whilest he lived, he hath
a good one now he is dead, and his virtues are famous to po∣sterity.
