Sažetak
In the late 1360s both Joanna I, Queen of Naples, and Louis the Great, king of Hungary, were childless, and thus without a direct descendant that would inherit the throne someday. Both however had close (and common) male and female relatives that were possible candidates for the future rulers of these kingdoms. This paper looks at the wedding plans of these two rulers made at the very end of 1369, and in the early 1370s, which involved four members of the Angevin dynasty that contracted two marriages – Joanna’s niece Margaret married Charles of Durazzo in 1370, and Louis’ niece Elizabeth married Philip II of Taranto in 1371. What was the political logic behind these marriages, who was to rule which kingdom, and why all these plans came to nothing are the questions this paper will try to answer, all the while putting it in the broader perspective of medieval diplomacy and dynastic world of the 14th century.
