Kingdom of Naples, Joanna, 1343 - 1381 A.D.
| Although her guilt was never proven, to ensure her own sole rule, Joanna had her first husband assassinated. For a time she was exiled to Avignon, where, hungry for money as well as power, she opened a brothel called "The Abbey." The brothel looked like a monastery. The women attended daily mass, did not work on Sundays, and served only elite Christians. But the facade was not a disguise; the Abbey was widely known as a whorehouse. After she supported Clement VII, the Avignon Pope, Pope Urban VI declared her a heretic and her Kingdom to be forfeit. She was captured, smothered between mattresses, and her body thrown into a deep well. |  |
