Poitou

He was seneschal of Poitou, and was very anxious to drive back the French, who had taken some strong places there.

For a time he also gained possession of Poitou, but before his death nearly the whole of that region had slipped from his grasp.

Then he boldly dashed into the heart of Poitou, marching by Lusignan to Poitiers.

Loyalty among the people there was none; even Anjou, the home of their race, drifted towards Philip as steadily as Poitou.
