René of Anjou was finally released from captivity after defeat at Bulgnéville (1431) and went to Italy to claim the disputed Kingdom of Naples. At the end of four years’ war against Alfonso V of Aragon, René was beaten at Naples and had to withdraw. René returned to France, abandoning his claim on the kingdom. His son Jean was beaten 20 years later in Appulia at Troia.
