Charles II of Naples
Charles II, also known as Charles the Lame (1254 – 5 May 1309), was King of Naples, Count of Provence and Forcalquier (1285–1309), Prince of Achaea (1285–1289), and Count of Anjou and Maine (1285–1290); he also styled himself King of Albania and claimed the Kingdom of Jerusalem from 1285.
He was the son of Charles
I of Anjouone of the most powerful European monarchs in the second half of the 13th centuryand Beatrice of Provence.
His father granted Charles the Principality of Salerno in the Kingdom of Sicily (or "Regno") in 1272 and made him regent in Provence and Forcalquier in 1279.
After the uprising known as the Sicilian Vespers against Charles' father, the island of Sicily became an independent kingdom under the rule of Peter III of Aragon in 1282.
A year later, his father made Charles regent in the mainland territories of the "Regno" (or the Kingdom of Naples).
Charles held a general assembly where unpopular taxes were abolished and the liberties of the noblemen and clerics were confirmed.
He could not prevent the Aragonese from occupying Calabria and the islands in the Gulf of Naples.
The Sicilian admiral, Roger of Lauria, captured him in a naval battle near Naples in 1284.
As he was still in prison when his father died on 7 January 1285, his realms were ruled by regents.
Raymond Berengar of Andria
Raymond Berengar (between 1279 and 1282–1307) was the count of Andria and possibly Count of Provence and Prince of Piedmont.
Raymond Berengar was the fifth son of Charles II of Naples and Maria of Hungary.
He was born in Provence during a brief return of his father to take command of a fleet there.
His homeland is evidenced in his Provençal name and the name of his nurse, Adelasia of Aix-en-Provence.
He was known to have been born after Robert and no document of the time places him in Naples for many more years.
Consequently, he spent his childhood under the guardianship of William de Manoir in the cities of Aix, Sisteron, St Victor, near Marseilles, and Baryols.
It is from Sisiteron that a letter was sent, dated 2 May 1286, by him and his two brothers, Robert and Louis, asking Edward I of England for the release of their captive father.
By the Treaty of Canfranc (29 October 1288), he was given as a hostage, along with his elder brothers, in exchange for his father.
He was ill at the time and did not get sent to Catalonia until the next year (23 February 1289).
He joined his brothers at Moncada on 9 March.
The three princes were treated with the honour due their status and they carried an entourage of a hundred young noblemen.
Raymond invited Pierre de Jean-Olieu to visit him in prison, but received only a letter of consolation.
The brothers were finally released on 7 June 1295 in accordance with the stipulations of the Treaty of Anagni.
Upon his release, he travelled to Naples and visited the Castel dell'Ovo.
He followed his brother Louis to Rome.
He returned to there in 1297 with his brothers Philip and John to receive Yolanda, daughter of Peter III of Aragon, and bride of Robert their brother, and escort her on to Naples.
In December 1300, Raymond received the honours of Monte Sant'Angelo, Capaccio, Eboli, Isernia, Atri and Vieste, and Altamura, the counties of Gravina and Andria, and the castellanies of Vairano, Lesina, and Terra di Muro.
In 1302, he lost Gravina.
On 13 December 1304, he was invested with the Countship of Piedmont.
Piedmont appears as his brother's in 1307, so his possession of this fief was probably theoretical and not actual.
A little later he was created Vicar General of the Regno and in August 1305 grand seneschal.
Raymond Berengar's participation in the politics of the Regno was limited.
He fought the Aragonese in Sicily in 1301 and did initiate a grant of land near Gravina to the Knights Templar.
In July 1304, he again went to Rome to receive a wife for his brother Robert.
This time it was Sancha, daughter of James II of Majorca.
He died shortly after his own marriage to Margaret, daughter of Robert, Count of Clermont.

Peire Bremon Ricas Novas
Peire Bremon Ricas Novas( fl. 1230–1242) was a Provençal troubadour who left behind twenty works: thirteen" cansos", six" sirventes", and one" tenso".
His treatment of courtly love was somewhat original.
Peire's" senhal" or nickname," Ricas Novas", means" interesting stories"( literally" rich news").
It indicates his reputation as a" jongleur" who spread wild tales.
Peire's Provençal identity is clinched by his poem" La cart cartier aurem nos autri proensal", with its reference to" us Provençals".
Peire's first datable work is a" tenso" written at the court of Raymond Berengar IV of Provence in 1230 with Gui de Cavalhon.
At the court of Provence Peire also met Bertran d'Alamanon and Sordello, whose" planh" for Blacatz he imitated.
Peire left the court of Raymond Berengar sometime in or after 1237 and went to that of Barral of Baux and thence to that of Raymond VII of Toulouse.
Though there is no record of his having visited Spain, his" Rics pres, ferms e sobeirans" celebrates an anonymous Castilian" domna"( lady).
He eventually fell out with Sordello and the two had an acrimonious exchange of vitriolic" sirventes" in 1240 – 41.
Berenguer Ramon, Count of Provence
Berengar Raymond( 1115 – 1144) was the count of Provence( 1131 – 1144).
He was the younger son of Raymond Berengar III, Count of Barcelona, and Douce I, Countess of Provence.
While his older brother Raymond Berengar received Barcelona( his father's inheritance), he received Provence( his mother's).
He married Beatrice, heiress of Melgueil.
His reign was occupied in wars with the family of Baux, which claimed the throne.
He also took an offensive against Genoa, but died at Melgueil in 1144.
His son Raymond Berengar succeeded him in Provence, but Melgueil went to Beatrice' second husband, Bernard V Pelet, and their daughter Ermessende of Pelet.
