About
Bertrade de Montfort bore the future king of Jerusalem to Anjou, then left the count for King Philip of France in the scandal of the age - and this tree descends from her by the Angevin marriage and from her royal lover by his first queen, so both sides of the scandal stand here by their respectable doors.
