Who dated Giovanni Caracciolo?

Giovanni Caracciolo (parfois francisé en Jean Caraccioli), né en 1372 et mort assassiné le 19 août 1432, était un puissant prince, chef militaire et homme politique italien, connu pour avoir été l'amant de la reine du royaume de Naples, Jeanne II d'Anjou-Durazzo.

Il fut prince de Capoue, duc de Venosa, comte d'Avellino et seigneur de Calvello, Casalnuovo, Castelvetere, Chiusano, Melfi, Orta, Rapolla, Ripacandida, Trivento, Tufo et Valentino. Il fut également grand connétable et grand sénéchal du royaume de Naples.

Sa puissance qui le rendit dans les faits véritable vice-roi du royaume de Naples, conduisit à son assassinat sur ordre de la reine elle-même.

Joanna II (Italian: Giovanna II; 25 June 1371 – 2 February 1435) was Queen of Naples from 1414 until her death in 1435, marking the extinction of the senior line of the Capetian House of Anjou. In addition to her primary title, she also claimed several other royal titles, including titular queen of Jerusalem, Hungary, Sicily, Dalmatia, Croatia, and Rama.

Born in Zadar as daughter to Charles III of Naples, she ascended the throne following the death of her brother Ladislaus. Her reign was marked by political turbulence, shifting alliances and personal scandals, including marriages to William of Austria and James II of La Marche. Joanna navigated complex rivalries between the Angevin and Aragonese claimants to Naples, ultimately designating Rene of Anjou as her heir. The final years of her reign were marked by relative peace and political stability. Her death resulted in the end of the Angevin dynasty's rule in Naples and ushered in the Valois-Anjou succession.
