Ingelger I Count of Anjou and Orléans (845 - 888) was a viscount who held territory around Orléans and Angers at the end of the 9th century. The son of Tertullus (or Tertulle) and Petronilla (whose grandfather was Holy Roman Emperor Charlemagne), he was born in Anjou and christened at St Martin, Tours. His son Fulk became the first count of Anjou. After Robert the Strong, he directed the resistance to the Norman invasions on the Loire. Ingeleger eventually died at the age of 43 in Tours.

Through his descendant Geoffrey Plantagenet, father of Henry II of England, he is an ancestor to the present-day British royal family, including Elizabeth II, Queen of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and her son, Prince Charles, Prince of Wales.

--------------------
First Angevin Dynasty -- of counts (before 942-1214)

Under one of the sons of Robert 'the Strong' [le Fort], Anjou was entrusted to a certain Ingelger [Enjuger], who became the founder of the first Angevin dynasty. Ingelger's son Fulk [Foulque] I the Red [le Roux] rid the country of the Normans and enlarged his domains by taking part of Touraine. He died in 942, and under his successor, Fulk II 'the Good' [le Bon], the destruction caused by the preceding wars was repaired. Geoffrey [Geoffroi] I Grisegonelle [d.987], who succeeded Fulk II in about 960, began the policy of expansion that was to characterize this first feudal dynasty. He helped Hugh Capet to seize the French crown but died some months after the new king's accession (987).

Ingelger or Ingelgarius (died 888) was a Frankish nobleman, who stands at the head of the Plantagenet dynasty. Later generations of his family believed he was the son of Tertullus (Tertulle) and Petronilla.[1]

Around 877 he inherited his father Tertullus's lands in accordance with the Capitulary of Quierzy which Charles the Bald had issued. His father's holdings from the king included Château-Landon in beneficium, and he was a casatus in the Gâtinais and Francia. Contemporary records refer to Ingelger as a miles optimus, a great military man.[2]

Later family tradition makes his mother a relative of Hugh the Abbot,[3] an influential counselor of both Louis II and Louis III of France, from whom he received preferment. By Louis II Ingelger was appointed viscount of Orléans, which city was under the rule of its bishops at the time.[2] At Orléans Ingelger made a matrimonial alliance with one of the leading families of Neustria, the lords of Amboise. He married Adelais, whose maternal uncles were Adalard, Archbishop of Tours, and Raino, Bishop of Angers. Later Ingelger was appointed prefect (military commander) at Tours, then ruled by Adalard.[2]

At some point Ingelger was appointed Count of Anjou, at a time when the county stretched only as far west as the Mayenne River. Later sources credit his appointment to his defence of the region from Vikings,[4] but modern scholars have been more likely to see it as a result of his wife's influential relatives.[2] He was buried in the church of Saint-Martin at Châteauneuf. He was succeeded by his son Fulk the Red.
