Hélène of Anjou

Hélène of Anjou was a natural daughter of Robert the Wise, king of Naples, who had promised her to a ruler in the Morea. Passing through Durrës on her way to Greece, she met the Albanian noble Andrea I Thopia and married him without the king's consent.

Robert refused to accept the match, lured the couple to Naples on a pretext of reconciliation and had them executed around 1342. Their son Karl survived and later ruled as prince of Albania.
