==Angevin Empire==
The '''Angevin Empire''' has been used retrospectively to describe areas that were under the control of the Plantagenet dynasty in the 12th and 13th centuries. At its peak, this consisted of all of [[England]], south east [[Wales]], western [[France]] and eastern [[Ireland]], claiming some overlordship of [[Scotland]] and the remainder of Ireland and Wales.
