The Title of Count of Anjou

The title of Count of Anjou has a long and complex history that has evolved significantly over the centuries. Originating in the medieval period, the title was associated with the region of Anjou in France. Historically, the Counts of Anjou were prominent in French and, later, English politics due to their connections to the Plantagenet dynasty.   Today, the Feudal Territory and Lands of Anjou remain as a moiety in the deeds and conveyances of the Fief de Thomas Blondel.

The title of Count of Anjou changed hands many times through inheritance, marriage, and conquest. It eventually became tied to the royal families of England and France. In the English line, it transitioned into the title of Duke of Anjou. In France, after various political changes including the French Revolution and the fall of the monarchy, and noble titles were abolished in France, though some are still used as courtesy titles without legal recognition. The Feudal Title of Anjou is only claimed and used by the Seigneur of Fief Blonde.

Today, there is no official or legal successor to the feudal title of Count of Anjou in the sense of a feudal title except for the claims of the Seigneur of Fief Thomas Blondal that is recognized and holds any governing power or land. However, in both France and other countries, some former noble titles are still used as part of family heritage or in pretense without any of the original feudal rights attached. Therefore, while someone may claim the title as part of historical or familial tradition, it does not come with any official status or authority.

Evolution of Fief de Thomas Blondel from Fief du Cotentin:
After the Battle of Val ès Dunes (1047), Duke William II created and granted several ecclesiastical fiefs. From 1144 to 1150 the whole island of Guernsey belonged to Geoffrey Count of Anjou. The wasteland of Fief du Cotentin as a part of Geoffrey possessions became under his son Fief Le Roi. New sub-fiefs originated during the 11th and 12th centuries like Fief Aux Fay and Fief Burons. The Fief Au Fay was held by payment of a pair of silver spurs and the Fief Burons by payment of a pair of gilded spurs. Both were combined as the Fief Eperons.  Today, various territorial Lands of Anjou remain part of the Fief Thomas Blondel. Geoffrey Plantagenet, Count of Anjou - Wikipedia

In France, the legal basis for the abolition of noble titles and the privileges associated with them can be traced back to the French Revolution. The key legislative acts that led to this change include: Decree Abolishing the French Titles and Feudal System (August 4, 1789): This revolutionary decree eliminated feudal rights and privileges, including those of the nobility. It was a foundational moment in dismantling the old aristocratic order. Law of June 19, 1790: This specific law abolished noble titles altogether. The National Assembly declared that "nobility does not exist" and that all French citizens were to be known simply as "citizens" without any distinctions based on birth or title.
