Angevin Empire (French “Second” Angevin dynasty)
View through CrossRef
AbstractCharles I, brother of the French King Louis IX, conquered southern Italy between 1266 and 1288 and established a dynasty destined to rule a vast Mediterranean empire almost entirely outside of the Kingdom of France. Despite the loss of Sicily in 1282, the Angevin Empire achieved its apogee in the middle of the 14th century under Robert I and Jeanne I, when Naples governed directly the county of Provence, southern Italy, and the western Peloponnesus, while collateral branches ruled Hungary and Poland. Angevin statecraft of the 14th century was unmatched in Europe, and Naples fostered a brilliant court culture. Dynastic quarrels exacerbated by the Great Schism led to political decline and the conquest of Naples by the Aragonese in 1435.
