Biography

He was the son of Charles I of Anjou, who had conquered the Kingdom of Naples and Sicily in the 1260s. His mother was Beatrice of Provence.

During the Sicilian Vespers, he had been captured by Roger of Lauria in the naval battle at Naples in 1284. When his father died in 1285, he was still a prisoner of Peter III of Aragon.

In 1288, King Edward I of England mediated to make peace, and Charles was liberated on the condition that he was to retain Naples alone. Sicily was left to the Aragonese. Charles was also to induce his cousin Charles of Valois to renounce, for twenty thousand pounds of silver, the kingdom of Aragon, which had been given to him by Pope Martin IV to punish Peter for having invaded Sicily, but which the Valois had never effectively occupied.

Charles was then released, leaving three of his sons and sixty Provençal nobles as hostages, promising to pay 30,000 marks and to return a prisoner if the conditions were not fulfilled within three years. He went to Rieti, where the new Pope Nicholas IV immediately absolved him from all the conditions he had sworn to observe, crowned him King of Sicily in 1289, and excommunicated King Alfonso III of Aragon. Charles of Valois, in alliance with Castile, prepared to take possession of Aragon, reopening the Aragonese Crusade. Alfonso, being hard pressed, agreed to the conditions of the Treaty of Tarascon: he had to promise to withdraw the troops he had sent to help his brother James in Sicily, to renounce all rights over the island, and pay a tribute to the Holy See.

Alfonso died childless in 1291 before the treaty could be carried out, and James took possession of Aragon, leaving the government of Sicily to the third brother Frederick.

The new Pope Boniface VIII, elected in 1294 at Naples under the auspices of King Charles, mediated between the latter and James, and the dishonourable Treaty of Anagni was signed: James was to marry Charles’s daughter Bianca and was promised the investiture by the pope of Sardinia and Corsica, while he was to leave the Angevin a free hand in Sicily and even to assist him if the Sicilians resisted.

An attempt was made to bribe Frederick into consenting to this arrangement, but being backed up by his people he refused, and was afterwards crowned King of Sicily. The ensuing war was fought on land and sea but Charles, though aided by the pope, his cousin Charles of Valois and James, was unable to conquer the island, and his son the prince of Taranto was taken prisoner at the battle of La Falconara in 1299. Peace was at last made in 1302 at Caltabellotta. Charles gave up all rights to Sicily and agreed to the marriage of his daughter Leonora and King Frederick; the treaty was ratified by the pope in 1303. Charles spent his last years quietly in Naples, which city he improved and embellished.

He died in Naples in August 1309, and was succeeded by his son Robert the Wise.

Leben [Bearbeiten]

Prinz von Salerno [Bearbeiten]

Er war ein Sohn Karls I. von Anjou und dessen erster Ehefrau Beatrix von der Provence († 1267). Nachdem sein Vater 1266 das Königreich Sizilien übernommen hatte erhielt Karl den Titel eines „Fürsten von Salerno“ (Prince de Salerne). 1283 wurde Karl von seinem Vater mit der Regentschaft des Königreiches betraut und war mit der Verteidigung des festländischen Besitzes um Kalabrien und Apulien gegen den König Peter III. von Aragon beschäftigt, der die Insel Sizilien nach dem Ausbruch der sizilianischen Vesper 1282 besetzt hatte. Beim Versuch am 5. Juni 1284 die Seeblockade des Hafens von Neapel durch die aragonesische Flotte unter Ruggiero di Lauria zu beenden, geriet Karl in Gefangenschaft. Er wurde zuerst nach Cefalù und anschließend nach Katalonien gebracht, wo er noch beim Tod seines Vaters 1285 eingekerkert war. Die Regentschaft in Neapel übernahm für ihn Graf Robert II. von Artois.

König von Neapel [Bearbeiten]

Erst nach dem Scheitern des aragonesischen Kreuzzuges seines Cousins König Philipp III. von Frankreich und der darauf folgenden Friedensinitiative Philipps des Schönen wurde Karl 1288, unter Vermittlung König Eduards I. von England, freigelassen. Er wurde unter der Auflage freigelassen, 30.000 Mark zu zahlen und in Gefangenschaft zurückzukehren, wenn die Bedingungen - Aussöhnung Aragons mit Frankreich und dem Papst - nicht innerhalb von drei Jahren erfüllt würden, und ließ dabei drei seiner Söhne und sechzig provenzalische Adlige als Geiseln zurück. Auch musste er seinen Vetter Karl von Valois dazu bringen gegen 20.000 Pfund Silber auf das Königreich Aragón zu verzichten, das Papst Martin IV. diesem im Vorfeld des aragonesischen Kreuzzuges zugesprochen hatte, im Gegenzug erhielt der Valois eine Tochter Karls mit den Grafschaften Anjou und Maine als Mitgift.

Karl ging nach Rieti, wo ihn der neue Papst Nikolaus IV. sofort von allen Verpflichtungen entband, ihn 1289 zum König der beiden Sizilien krönte und Alfons III. von Aragón exkommunizierte. Karl von Valois bereitete sich in einer Allianz mit Kastilien darauf vor, Aragón in Besitz zu nehmen, während Alfons unter dem starken Druck zusagen musste, seine Truppen zurück zu holen, mit denen er seinem Bruder Jakob II. auf Sizilien half, alle Rechte an der Insel aufzugeben und einen Tribut an den Papst zu zahlen. Alfons starb 1291 kinderlos, bevor der Vertrag ausgeführt werden konnte. Jakob nahm Aragón in Besitz und überließ die Regierung in Sizilien dem dritten Bruder, Friedrich II. (der sich selbst als Friedrich III. bezeichnete).

Königin Maria und König Karl II. von Neapel. (Darstellung aus dem 14. Jahrhundert)

Der neue Papst Bonifatius VIII., der 1294 unter der Schirmherrschaft Karls in Neapel gewählt worden war, vermittelte 1295 zwischen Jakob II. von Aragon und Philipp IV. von Frankreich den Frieden von Anagni der auch eine höchst eigenwillige Lösung des Konfliktes um Neapel – Sizilien hervorbrachte: Jakob sollte Karls Tochter Bianca heiraten und bekam vom Papst die Investitur in Korsika und Sardinien zugesagt, wohingegen er Anjou freie Hand in Sizilien lassen und ihn sogar bei eventuellem sizilianischem Widerstand unterstützen sollte.

Es wurde ein Versuch gemacht Friedrich, dessen Zustimmung vonnöten war, zu bestechen in dieses Arrangement einzuwilligen. Der aber widersetzte sich mit dem Rückhalt, den er im sizilianischen Volk hatte und wurde zum König von Sizilien gekrönt. Karl, der ein fast schon anachronistisch scheinendes Ehrgefühl besaß, begab sich nach Scheitern seiner Bemühungen um Aussöhnung der Konfliktparteien vier Monate nach seiner Königskrönung zurück zur Grenze von Aragon, um sich wieder in die Gefangenschaft führen zu lassen. Da dort sich niemand an seiner erneute Gefangennahme interessierte, war seine Ehre gerettet und er begab sich zunächst nach Frankreich. Dort gelang ihm der Friedensschluß von Senlis am 19. Mai 1290, in dem Karl von Valois auf alle seine Ansprüche auf Aragon verzichtete. Dafür verzichtete der französische König zugunsten von Karl von Valois auf die Grafschaften Anjou und Maine, die Stammlande seines Hauses. Mit dem Einverständnis des Papstes Nikolaus IV. bekam Karl von Valois Marguerite von Anjou-Sizilien, die Tochter von Karl II., am 16. August 1290 zur Frau.

Danach eröffnete Karl sogleich einen Krieg gegen Friedrich, war aber trotz der Hilfe durch den Papst, Karls von Valois und auch Jakobs von Aragón, nicht in der Lage, die Insel zu erobern. Sein Sohn Philipp I. von Tarent geriet 1299 in der Schlacht von La Falconara in Gefangenschaft. Auf Betreiben des Papstes vernichtete Karl im Jahr 1300 mit Lucera (bei Foggia) das letzte Zentrum des Islam in Italien, die muslimischen Einwohner wurden massakriert oder versklavt. 1302 wurde mit dem Vertrag von Caltabellotta Frieden geschlossen. Karl gab darin endgültig seine Ansprüche auf Sizilien auf und stimmte der Hochzeit zwischen seiner Tochter Leonora mit Friedrich zu. Damit wurde die Teilung des alten normannisch-staufischen Königreichs von Sizilien in ein festländisches (Mezzogiorno/Neapel) und ein insulares (Trinacria/Sizilien) Königreich besiegelt, das erst 1816 mit der Gründung des Königreichs beider Sizilien wieder vereint werden sollte. Karl verbrachte seine letzten Jahre ruhig in Neapel und befasste sich mit der Verschönerung seiner Stadt. Er konnte seine Herrschaft gegenüber der italienischen Bevölkerung stabilisieren, indem er sie im größeren Maße an der Macht beteiligte als sein Vater und senkte zudem die Steuerlast. In den politischen Wirren des Kirchenstaates und Norditaliens hielt er sich weitestgehend heraus und konnte somit auch nicht die Überführung des Papsttums nach Avignon durch Philipp dem Schönen verhindern. 1307 unterstützte er die Zerschlagung des Templerordens, dessen Vereinigung mit den Johannitern er zuvor gefordert hatte. Er starb 1309 und wurde in San Domenico beerdigt. Sein Sohn ließ den Leichnam später nach Aix-en-Provence überführen, wo er in der Kirche Saint-Barthélemi bestattet wurde.

Ehe und Nachkommen [Bearbeiten]

Karl war seit 1270 mit Maria von Ungarn († 1323) verheiratet, einer Tochter König Stephans V. von Ungarn und der Elisabeth von Cumania. Diese Ehe leitete den Erbgang des Hauses Anjou in Ungarn ein, das dort von 1308 bis 1395 herrschte. Die Kinder des Paares waren:

Charles II of Naples

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Charles II, known as "the Lame" (French le Boiteux, Italian lo Zoppo; 1254 – 5 May 1309), was King of Naples and Sicily, titular King of Jerusalem, and Prince of Salerno.

Biography

He was the son of Charles I of Anjou, who had conquered the Kingdom of Naples and Sicily in the 1260s. His mother was Beatrice of Provence.

During the Sicilian Vespers, he had been captured by Roger of Lauria in the naval battle at Naples in 1284. When his father died in 1285, he was still a prisoner of Peter III of Aragon.

In 1288, King Edward I of England mediated to make peace, and Charles was liberated on the condition that he was to retain Naples alone. Sicily was left to the Aragonese. Charles was also to induce his cousin Charles of Valois to renounce, for twenty thousand pounds of silver, the kingdom of Aragon, which had been given to him by Pope Martin IV to punish Peter for having invaded Sicily, but which the Valois had never effectively occupied.

Charles was then released, leaving three of his sons and sixty Provençal nobles as hostages, promising to pay 30,000 marks and to return a prisoner if the conditions were not fulfilled within three years. He went to Rieti, where the new Pope Nicholas IV immediately absolved him from all the conditions he had sworn to observe, crowned him King of Sicily in 1289, and excommunicated King Alfonso III of Aragon. Charles of Valois, in alliance with Castile, prepared to take possession of Aragon, reopening the Aragonese Crusade. Alfonso, being hard pressed, agreed to the conditions of the Treaty of Tarascon: he had to promise to withdraw the troops he had sent to help his brother James in Sicily, to renounce all rights over the island, and pay a tribute to the Holy See.

Alfonso died childless in 1291 before the treaty could be carried out, and James took possession of Aragon, leaving the government of Sicily to the third brother Frederick.

The new Pope Boniface VIII, elected in 1294 at Naples under the auspices of King Charles, mediated between the latter and James, and the dishonourable Treaty of Anagni was signed: James was to marry Charles’s daughter Bianca and was promised the investiture by the pope of Sardinia and Corsica, while he was to leave the Angevin a free hand in Sicily and even to assist him if the Sicilians resisted.

An attempt was made to bribe Frederick into consenting to this arrangement, but being backed up by his people he refused, and was afterwards crowned King of Sicily. The ensuing war was fought on land and sea but Charles, though aided by the pope, his cousin Charles of Valois and James, was unable to conquer the island, and his son the prince of Taranto was taken prisoner at the battle of La Falconara in 1299. Peace was at last made in 1302 at Caltabellotta. Charles gave up all rights to Sicily and agreed to the marriage of his daughter Leonora and King Frederick; the treaty was ratified by the pope in 1303. Charles spent his last years quietly in Naples, which city he improved and embellished.

He died in Naples in August 1309, and was succeeded by his son Robert the Wise.
