Kingdom of Naples and Sicily, Charles II of Anjou, 1285 - 1309
|Italy|, |Kingdom| |of| |Naples| |and| |Sicily,| |Charles| |II| |of| |Anjou,| |1285| |-| |1309|,
When his father died, Charles was a prisoner of Peter III of Aragon. King Edward I of England mediated peace, and Charles was liberated on the condition that he was to retain Naples alone. Sicily was left to the Aragonese. Three of his sons and 60 nobles were sent as hostages for his release. Pope Nicholas IV immediately absolved Charles from all the conditions he had sworn to observe, crowned him King of Sicily in 1289, and excommunicated King Alfonso III of Aragon. The two sides fought for the next 13 years until Charles finally gave up all rights to Sicily, agreed to marry his daughter Eleanor to King Frederick, and lived the rest of his life peacefully in Naples.Carlos_I
