History
            Takes its name from the House of Plantagenet - one of the Royal lines of England whose members and descendants
            had originated from the lands of Anjou in France and held the English throne from 1154 until 1485. The name
            ''Plantagenet'' was brought to England following the Norman Conquest and is the name for a gardener, being derived
            from the Old English word - plant or young tree. Plantagenet was adopted after being a nickname of Geoffrey,
            Count of Anjou and Duke of Normandy and one of many popular theories suggests the blossom of common broom - a
            bright yellow (gold) flowering plant. A sprig of broom was the crest of the Angevin Kings and is incorporated as part
            of the logo on the Preceptory Banner and crest.
