Her See also:life had always been very dissolute, and although now a widow of See also:forty-five, she See also:chose as her See also:lover Pandolfo Alopo, a youth of twenty-six, whom she made See also:seneschal of the See also:kingdom.

James of See also:Bourbon, a relative of the king of See also:France, and the See also:marriage took See also:place in 1415. But James at once declared himself king, had Alopo killed and Sforza imprisoned, and kept his wife in a See also:state of semi-confinement; this led to a See also:counter-agitation on the See also:part of the barons, who forced James to liberate Sforza, renounce his kingship, and eventually to quit the See also:country. The queen now sent Sforza to re-establish her authority in See also:Rome, whence the Neapolitans had been expelled after the death of Ladislaus; Sforza entered the See also:city and obliged the condoltiere Braccio da Montone, who was defending it in the See also:pope's name, to depart (1416).

Martin V., he allied himself with Joanna, who promised to give up Rome, while Sforza returned to Naples. The latter found, however, that he had lost all See also:influence with the queen, who was completely dominated by her new lover Giovanni (Sergianni) See also:Caracciolo. Hoping to re-establish his position and crush Caracciolo, Sforza favoured the pretensions of See also:- LOUIS
- LOUIS (804–876)
- LOUIS (893–911)
- LOUIS, JOSEPH DOMINIQUE, BARON (1755-1837)
- LOUIS, or LEWIS (from the Frankish Chlodowich, Chlodwig, Latinized as Chlodowius, Lodhuwicus, Lodhuvicus, whence-in the Strassburg oath of 842-0. Fr. Lodhuwigs, then Chlovis, Loys and later Louis, whence Span. Luiz and—through the Angevin kings—Hungarian
Louis III. of Anjou, who wished to obtain the See also:succession of Naples at Joanna's death, a course which met with the approval of the pope. Joanna refused to adopt Louis owing to the influence of Caracciolo, who hated Sforza; she appealed for help instead to See also:Alphonso of See also:Aragon, promising to make him her See also:heir. See also:War See also:broke out between Joanna and the Aragonese on one See also:side and Louis and Sforza, supported by the pope, on the other. After much fighting by See also:land and See also:sea, Alphonso entered Naples, and in 1422 See also:peace was made. But dissensions broke out between the Aragonese and Catalans and the Neapolitans, and Alphonso had Caracciolo arrested; whereupon Joanna, fearing for her own safety, invoked the aid of Sforza, who with difficulty carried her off to See also:Aversa. There she was joined by Louis whom she adopted as her successor instead of the ungrateful Alphonso. Sforza was accidentally drowned, but when Alphonso returned to See also:Spain, leaving only a small force in Naples, the Angevins with the help of a Genoese See also:fleet recaptured the city. For a few years there was peace in the kingdom, but in 1432 Caracciolo, having quarrelled with the queen, was seized and murdered by his enemies. See also:Internal disorders broke out, and Gian See also:Antonio See also:Orsini, See also:prince of See also:Taranto, led a revolt against Joanna in See also:Apulia; Louis of Anjou died while conducting a See also:campaign against the rebels (1434), and Joanna herself died on the 11th of See also:February 1435, after having appointed his son Rene her successor. Weak, foolish and dissolute, she made her reign one See also:long See also:scandal, which reduced the kingdom to the lowest depths of degradation. Her perpetual intrigues and her See also:political incapacity made Naples a See also:prey to anarchy and See also:foreign invasions, destroying all sense of patriotism and See also:loyalty both in the barons and the See also:people.
