Count Geoffrey was a skilful soldier in the Franch manner,
stout-hearted and strong and most successful in battle.
At that time, Huasten the Dane had been attacking the coast of
France for three years, and now he joined his cousins, Edward and
Hilduin, who were both counts of Flanders. He had with him a force of
fifteen thousand Danes and Saxons, among whom was a warrior of
extraordinary stature and courage, Ethelulf. Together the Danes and
Swedes were ravaging French lands, plundering and burning towns and
villages wherever they could. With the aid of the Flemings, they
overran and laid waste with fire and sword almost all of that region of
Flanders inhabited by the French, before deciding to advance to Paris
and sow fear and terror there.
Alarmed at such audacity, the king had his nobles forgather from
all parts at Paris at Whitsun. Ethelulf the Dane, like a new Goliath,
scornfully approached the city, demanding single combat with a French
knight. When several of the bravest and noblest of the French had been
defeated and killed in such combat, the king was overcome with grief
and forbade anyone else to go aout against Ethelulf.
When Count Geoffrey of Anjou heard the royal messenger who summoned
him to the assembly at Whitsun, he prepared to leave his lands at
Chateau-Landon. When he learned of the Dane's strength and cruetly, he
set off in secret, with one knight and two squires.
He took just one horse and crossed the Seine, together with the
knight and two millers. When he saw the Dane and heard his war cry,
the count roared, swiftly armed himself and mounted his horse. Leaving
his companions in the boat, he set out alone onto the plain to engage
his foe. Spurring on his charger, each man closed on the other. The
count pierced his enemy's chest and threw him to the ground with the
steel emerging between the shoulder blades. As he looked back,
Geoffrey could see the groaning Dane struggling to get up, with a
threatening look in his fierce eyes; so he swiftly dismounted and
drawing his sword, like a second David, he cut off his head. He
immediately remounted and returned swiftly to the boat with the head
and the horse of his enemy. After crossing the river, he gave the head
to one of the millers to take to Paris, while he returned incognito to
Chateau-Landon to rejoin his men.
The bearer of the head reached the city and, in the presence of the
king, declared that although he did not know the identity of the knight
he had no doubt that, if he saw him again, he would recognize him.
On the appointed day all those who had been summoned, the dukes and
counts, the nobles of the whole fo France, reached Paris; so all the
chief men of outstanding skill and ability were gathered together in
the royal palace. Geoffrey, count of Anjou, sat among the barons
wearing a tunic of coarse grey cloth that the French call grising but
which we Angevins call borrel.
The miller, who had been summoned by the king for this express
purpose, looked at the count and recognized him immediately. With the
king's permission, he approached him smiling. As he knelt, he caught
hold of the count's tunic and said to the king and the rest of those
assembled, 'This man, who wears a grey tunic, restored our honour when
he slew the Dane and struck fear into their army.' The kind decreed
that hencforth Geoffrey should be called 'Greygown' and all present
gave their assent.
Geoffrey Greygown was succeded by his son Count Maurice who was
'wise, virtuous and peaceloving and who ruled in peace more as a result
of wisdom than of fighting battles. On his death in 987 his lands went
to his son Fulk Nerra who although only about 17 years old, had already
proved himself a valiant soldier.

chaplain of Count Fulk V and John of Marmouti
