Joanna of Naples
Joanna of Naples was a queen who ruled from 1343 to 1382. Born in 1328, she was the daughter of Charles, Duke of Calabria and Marie of Valois. Joanna became queen after the death of her grandfather, Robert of Anjou, and was known for her intelligence and political acumen. Her reign was marked by conflicts, including struggles with the House of Anjou and the Kingdom of Hungary.
Joanna's rule faced challenges, including accusations of murder and political intrigue. She was married twice, first to Andrew of Hungary and later to James IV of Majorca. Joanna's legacy is complex, as she was both a patron of the arts and a controversial figure in medieval politics.
