Joanna of Naples Who Made Vesuvus Put Blind Brides

spent twelve years a prisoner In an iron
cage. so he, too was soon moving to slow
music, covered with flowers he couldn't
smell.
Three good husbands deserve

Of Brunswick had sung the Neapolitan
serenade in German. four nights rum
ming, beneath her castle walls.
Joanna was nearing nfty-five. She had
no children surviving. 50 she adopted
Charles of Durazzo, tr., nephew Of the
nrst Charles, and husband Of her sister
Maria's daughter for her heir. Another
social erroi Charles was like his uncle.
He got tired Of waiting for Joanna to
die, so he raised an army and captured
her. so that the King Of Hungary could
condemn her to death to avenge his
brother Andrew.
They told Joanna the news, and she
asked absent-mindedly
Andrew? Which was he? Oh, yes,
Hungry Andy. Well go on and shoot

happen to Joanna and Andrew. And
he hoped daily for an accident.
Joanna had switched her affections
without advertising IT,. There was a
lad named Bertrand of Artois. who
told Joanna he knew exactly how it
was-nobody understood her but him.
Andrew saw it cropping, out on the
queenly surface. He received word
from the Pope that he might rule If
he felt like it.
IT never felt more like it in my
life" Andy wrote in his dairy. He
called for his memorandum book, and
made out q list of macaroni magnates
that he meant to knock OF. His pet
crime doctors operated on one of

The King of Hungary eventually
reached Naples. and high heads were
reaped to his hearts content. Even
Charles Duraxxo got his. He thought
he was SO smart in playing the informer,
but the King of Hungary had not for
gotten that Charles had swiped his in
tended bride. Maria, and he had Charles
hanged.
THE people OF Naples, terrified at
the epidemic Of murders. sent word
to Joanna to please come back She was
having a nice time at Avignon. flirting
with James of Aragon while her hus-
band talked to the Pope. But she sold
the town Of Avignon at 4 fair profit,
raised an expeditionary force, and re-
turned to Italy. There was battle, and
she defeated the Hungarian king.
Louis Of Taranto didn't live long. And
neither did Joanna live long without
another husband. James OF, Arason fol-
lowed to Naples as soon as he received
an invitation to her husband's funeral,
and they were married.
James wasn't booked for a long re-
gime with Joanna though. He was al
