Untitled[edit]

Since he was King of Naples for five years, and of Hungary for only one, wouldn't it make more sense to call him Charles III of Naples? john 04:49, 6 Sep 2003 (UTC)

"Joan I was infatuated with him throughout her life"?[edit]

I don't know if there's any source for this infatuation, but if there is, we must remember that Joan suffered a biased religious press at the time. It's not the sort of analysis you expect to see in a medieval history article, to be honest.

In any case, the comment makes dubious sense in its own terms, does it not? Joan's life started in 1328 and Charles's started in 1345, seventeen years later. It's true that Joan brought him up at her court, where she could, I suppose, have become infatuated with him later on; but he would have needed to be a young man for that to happen, surely, so we're talking about 1360 at the very earliest, by which time the major part of Joan's life was in the past. So she couldn't have been *infatuated with him throughout her life".

Agree -- the role of decision making in Rome can't be excluded from the explanations by the Curia for Joan's attributed failings. Clearly she had an erosion and collapse of her alliance with Urban. The why is something that references would be very helpful with -- hopeful that someone familiar with the dissertation literature on this could help. --InnocentsAbroad2 (talk) 18:46, 9 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Enguerrand VII, Lord of Coucy[edit]

I've added a hyperlink to Enguerrand VII, Lord of Coucy --

of interest, the French role and the English role in the Neapolitan succession may be clarified by data on the use of English mercenaries in Naples and the Papal States.

Cross references to Hawkwood and the 100 years war would also help clarify the rate of movement of Enlgish mercenary troops into Southern Italy, and into the Papal States. --InnocentsAbroad2 (talk) 18:43, 9 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

"... Pope Urban VI granted the papal dispensation that was necessary for the marriage on 15 June 1369[edit]

This can't be correct, since Urban VI (Bartolomeo Prignano) only became pope in 1378. The footnote attributes this to Gladstone, whose book I don't have to hand, but someone needs to fix this. MFPettinger (talk) 14:04, 9 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
