literature, and a generous See also:patron of See also:literary men: he befriended the poet See also:Petrarch, who admired the king so greatly as to See also:express the wish to see him See also:lord of all Italy; while See also:Boccaccio celebrated the virtues and charms of Robert's natural daughter Maria, under the name of Fiammetta.

In spite of his See also:power and See also:influence, his position as a leader of the Guelphs was greatly shaken during the latter years of his reign, while at See also:home he was never able completely to subjugate his rebellious barons.
