He succeeded his father as Count Of Maine , Guise , Mortain and Gien in 1472 . He succeeded his uncle René I Of Naples in 1480 as 5th Duke Of Anjou and Count Of Provence , according to the will of René who had no surviving son. René's surviving daughter Yolande received Bar and was already Duchess Of Lorraine . He also used the title of Duke Of Calabria , in token of the claims to Naples he inherited from René. In 1474 , he married Jeanne of Lorraine (d. 1480 ), but they had no children. He died in 1481 . He willed his inheritance to his cousin Louis XI Of France , whose heirs thus obtained a claim to the affairs of Italy , pursued in the next decades. See also |
