The Devil's Brood


For those who missed the BBC documentary, some useful info. emerged last night.

The name Plantagenet formed from the Latin name for the plant, broom, "Plant Genesta", the family emblem of Geoffrey, Count of Anjou and the later King Henry's father.
Later even Richard called his family, the Devil's Brood!

Two further episodes to follow and will eagerly await them.
