Ingelgerings ( fr. Ingelgeriens ) - a noble genus of Frankish origin , whose representatives were the Counts of Anjou and the Counts of Nantes . Together with Gatine-Anjou, the Ingelgeringovs who changed their home in the county of Anjou are often united in the First House of Anjou ( fr. Première maison d'Anjou ).

History
The main source on the history and genealogy of the first representatives of the genus is the " Chronicle of the Acts of the Counts of Anjou " ( Latin Gesta Consulum Andegavorum , fr. La Chronique IV Le Decided to preserve the memory of the stories of his uncle, Count Geoffroy II Martel , the last representative of the Ingelgerings dynasty.
The first reliable representative of the genus was Ingelger (ca. 840 — ca. 888), referred to in the charter of 929 as the father of Fulk I of Red (up to 886 - until 942), who in 929 appropriated the title of Count of Anjou . Ingelger's name is not mentioned in his contemporary documents. According to the “Chronicle of the Acts of the Counts of Anjou”, Ingelger was the grandson of a certain Torquatus, who was of Breton origin, and who during the reign of King of the West-Frankish Kingdom of Charles II the Bald was appointed forester in Anjou. His son was Tertullius, who served Charles the Bald and received from the king for his services the castle of Chateau-Landon , as well as possessions in Gatine . In addition, Tertullius, due to his merit, received a noble wife named Petronilla, who, according to a late family tradition, was a relative of Hugo Abbot [1] , the main adviser to King Louis II Zaika , and later his sons. About 877 Tertulius was succeeded by Ingelger, who, thanks to his kinship with Hugo the Abbot, was given control over the region around Orleans with the title of the Viscount, and under Louis II Zaika was also appointed military prefect of Tours . Thanks to his marriage to Aelinda from the noble family of seniors Amboise , the niece of the bishops Anger Renon and the archbishop of Tour Adalard , Igelger also received the city of Amboise and half of the county of Anjou .
Heir to Ingelger Fulk I Red was the founder of the power of the family. He managed to significantly expand the tribal possession. King Charles III the Prostrate appointed Fulka as the Viscount of Angers and Tours, whose count was considered the Marquis of Neustria, Robert I. After the death in 907 of the king of Brittany, Alain I the Great, Fulk was appointed Earl of Nantes , but he could not save the county, because in 914 Nantes was captured by the Normans . In 919, Fulk was forced to give up the title of Count of Nantes, but continued to wear the title of count. In 929, he tried to establish the title of Count Anger, but the count was finally recognized for Fulk only shortly before his death in 942 , when his overlord, Hugo the Great , received the title of Duke of France .
The descendants of Fulk I were able to get rid of their lustful dependence on the Robertines. In addition, the Counts of Anjou were able to join the Tuar and Loudon , formerly owned by the dukes of Aquitaine, as well as influence the Earls of Nantes.
The genus died away in the male line in 1060 after the death of Geoffroy II Martel . The possessions of the house were inherited by the children of his sister Irmengarde and her husband Geoffroy II , Count Gatine and Chateau-Landon, who became the ancestor of the second house of Anjou .

Notes
- ↑ Some historians in the 19th century confused Hugo Abbott with Hugo Saint-Quentinsky , the illegitimate son of Emperor Charles I the Great , considering Petronil the granddaughter of the emperor.
