Charles, Duke of Durazzo

Charles of Durazzo (1323–1348), eldest son of John, Duke of Durazzo, and Agnes of Périgord, led the Anjou-Durazzo faction against his cousin Queen Joanna I of Naples, and succeeded his father as Duke of Durazzo and Count of Gravina in 1336.

In April 1343 he and his mother abducted Maria of Calabria, Joanna's sister, once meant for Louis I of Hungary or John of France, and married her at Naples to move closer to the throne.

He kept aloof from the plot that killed Joanna's husband Andrew, but opposed the queen and Louis of Taranto and sought Hungarian support. When Louis of Hungary invaded in 1348 and Joanna fled, the Hungarians seized and beheaded him at Aversa. His daughter Margaret later married Charles III of Naples.
