History
Charles of France, the son of Louis VIII, was made count of the western
French province of
Anjou by his elder brother, King
Louis IX in
1246.
In
1266 Charles was granted the crown of
Naples and
Sicily by the
Pope in return for overthrowing the territories'
Hohenstaufen rulers.
Charles was driven out of Sicily in
1282, but his successors ruled Naples until
1435.
This House of Anjou included the branches of Anjou-
Hungary, which ruled Hungary (1308–1385, 1386–1395) and
Poland (1370–1399), Anjou-
Taranto, which ruled the remnants of the
Latin Empire (1313–1374) and Anjou-
Durazzo, which ruled Naples (1382–1435) and Hungary (1385–1386).
The line became extinct in the male line with the death of
King Ladislas of Naples in
1414, and totally extinct with the death of his sister
Joan II in
1435.
