Biography
Fulk, a castellan from Anjou, gave his daughter into the care of the nuns of Le Ronceray. Blincoe notes that he anticipated an absence of 3 years. If he had not returned by this time, she could decide whether to marry or become a nun.Blincoe also suggests he may have traveled with Baldwin of Vern d'Anjou, since the latter appears as a witness in Fulk's charter.
