	The Angevin Dynasties
		There were other Angevin dynasties to follow in France, as the English 'Plantagenets' continued in a futile attempt to regain the French domains during the Hundred Years' War.
		The overseas initiatives of this second Angevin dynasty, created so-called 'Angevin dynasties' outside of France, particularly in Naples, that tended to divert the later Angevin line in France from its core domain of Anjou, in France.
		The later Angevin princes were more interested in the conquest of the kingdom of Naples than in the defense of their duchy, and Louis II, as his father, Louis I, spent most of his life away from Anjou.

	Review: The Stones of Naples. Church Building in Angevin Italy, 1266-1343
		Bruzelius’s research is firmly anchored in the architecture itself, with significant revisions of chronology and style, but her primary concern is to relate the buildings to the history of the kingdom.
		One of the main clichés tackled by Bruzelius is the idea that Angevin rulers in a Francophile court introduced – above all under Charles of Anjou –; French architecture executed by French architects and builders.
		Having already devoted years of research to St Denis and the court of Louis IX, the author is well aware that the traditional idea of a court style, one-sided, unchanging and dictated by the ruler, is a myth.
