Angevin

Term used to describe the English kings Henry II and Richard I (also known, with the later English kings up to Richard III, as the Plantagenets). Angevin derives from Anjou, a region in northwestern France. The Angevin Empire comprised the territories (including England) that belonged to the Anjou dynasty.

King John is sometimes known as the last of the Angevin dynasty because he was the last English king to reign over Anjou, which he lost in 1204.
