Louis II was the son of Louis I Of Anjou , King of Naples, and came into his Angevin inheritance, which included Provence , in 1384 , with his rival Charles Of Durazzo (father of Ladislas), of the senior Angevin line, in possession of Naples . In 1386 , the underage Ladislas was expelled soon after his father died. Louis II was crowned King of Naples by the Avignon ese Antipope Clement VII on November 1 , 1389 and took possession of Naples the following year. He was ousted in turn by his rival in 1399 . In 1409 , Louis liberated Rome from Ladislas' occupation; in 1410 , as an ally of the Antipope John XXIII he attacked Ladislas and defeated him at Roccasecca ( 1411 ).
