Reading notes

The Durazzo branch of the House of Anjou, descended from the second son of Charles II of Naples; a rival dynastic line to the reigning Neapolitan Angevins and to the Hungarian branch that had produced Louis the Great. Their claim to Hungary came through the same Anjou-Árpád link that justified Louis's own rule.

The Durazzó branch of the Angevin dynasty, rivals to the main Neapolitan Angevins; in this drama, Durazzo's ambitions center on the Neapolitan throne they believe is rightfully theirs.
