Fulcuich
Fulcuich (Fulcois) born about 1040 and died in 1078, Count of Mortagne, son of Rotrou, Seigneur de Nogent. It has been conjectured that Fulcuich's ancestor was Hervé I, Lord of Mortagne-au-Perche, through Hildegarde de Mortagne de Perche, daughter of Herve I, wife of Rotrou.
Fulcuich married Melisende, Viscountess of Châteaudun, daughter of Hugues, Viscount of Châteaudun, and Hildegarde of Perche. Fulcuich and Melisende had two children:
- Geoffrey II Viscount of Châteaudun, I Count of Perche.
- Hugues du Perche, who would become the agnatic ancestor of the Plantagenet kings of England.
Fulcuich was presumably succeeded as count by his son Geoffrey.
