Determined to press his claim to Naples, Alfonso V of Aragon besieged nearby Gaeta, held for Genoa by Francisco Spinola. With the city almost starved into surrender, Genoese Admiral Biagio Assereto arrived and, off nearby Isla de Ponza, Alfonso was routed and captured, along with his two brothers. Alfonso was later released and defeated René of Anjou to secure Naples.
