	Charles III of Naples - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		As the great-grandchild of King Charles II of Naples, he was a second cousin to Queen Joan I (both agnatically) and also adopted by her as a child, since he was the only male of the senior Angevin line of Sicily.
		The conflict between Joan and Pope Urban VI caused the Pope (as feudal overlord of the kingdom) to declare her dethroned in 1381 and give the kingdom to Charles.
		However, Joan's adopted heir Louis I of Anjou took possession of the Counties of Provence and Forcalquier and marched on Naples to claim the kingdom, but was defeated by Charles.
