Second house Maine

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Second House Maine (in France called Deuxième Maison du Maine or Hugonides ) are the descendants of Count Rotger († 900), who was married to a daughter of Charles the Bald , and of the Rorgonids (the First House of Maine) who owned the family County took over when the heir to the title was unable to fulfill his task of defending the borders against the Bretons and Normans because of his minority.

The family managed to defend the county until it died out in the male line of 1062. She was then inherited several times in the female line until she finally came to the Plantagenet family at the beginning of the 12th century .
