The term "Angioino" refers to the historical dynasty of the Angevins, a royal family that originated from Anjou in France. The Angevins played a significant role in European history, particularly during the 12th and 13th centuries, when they ruled over various territories, including parts of Italy, England, and France. Their influence extended through notable figures such as King Henry II of England and Queen Eleanor of Aquitaine. In Italy, the Angioino dynasty is best known for its rule over the Kingdom of Naples and the Kingdom of Sicily. The Angevins sought to expand their power in the region, leading to conflicts with local rulers and other dynasties, such as the Hohenstaufen. Their reign left a lasting impact on the political landscape of southern Italy, shaping its culture and governance.
