Charles II of Naples: Encyclopedia II - Charles I of Hungary - Reign

To impose limitations on the barons, the lesser gentry were protected against the tyranny of the magnates, encouraged to appear at court and taxed for military service by the royal treasury so as to draw them closer to the crown. The court was fam ...

Charles II of Naples: Encyclopedia II - Charles I of Sicily - Biography

Charles I of Sicily - Early Life. Charles was born in 1227, shortly after the death of his father, King Louis VIII.

The affection of his mother Blanche seems largely to have been bestowed upon his brother Louis; and Louis tended to favor his elder brothers Robert of Artois and Alphonse. The self-reliance this engendered in Charles may account for the tremendous drive and ambition he showed in his later life. Ch ...

Charles II of Naples: Encyclopedia II - Despotate of Epirus - Foundation

The Despotate was founded in by Michael I Ducas, cousin of the Byzantine emperors Isaac II Angelus and Alexius III.
