When the childless Queen Joanna of Naples attempted to name the King of France’s brother as her heir, Pope Urban VI in Rome instead supported her cousin Charles of Durazzo. Charles defeated Joanna’s fourth husband, Otto of Brunswick, at Anagni, near Naples, then seized the Neapolitan throne as Charles III. Joanna herself was captured and murdered.
