The following is a list of monarchs of the Kingdom of Naples.

Contents

[edit] Angevin Dynasty, 1282-1381

Joan was deposed and later killed by her cousin, Charles, Duke of Durazzo

[edit] House of Durazzo, 1381-1435

The rule of the House of Durazzo was contested by the Dukes of Anjou of the House of Valois, who led several military expeditions into the kingdom. In the end Queen Joan II, being heirless, recognized Duke Louis III in 1426 as Duke of Calabria and heir. Louis predeceased her, but his brother René inherited his claim. Joan recognised René as her heir before her death.

[edit] House of Valois-Anjou, 1435-1442

René had a contestant in King Alfonso V of Aragon who had been previously considered as a successor by Joan II but had been later discarded in favour of René's brother. Alfonso conquered the kingdom manu militari and René was forced to flee. René's claim was inherited by either his nephew (Charles IV of Anjou, who died in 1481, leaving his claims to French king Louis XI) or his grandson (René II of Lorraine). The latter's descendants continued to claim the throne of Naples, as did the French kings, down to 1529, and intermittently until 1559.
