Giovanni Antonio (Giannantonio) Del Balzo Orsini (1386 or 1393 – 15 November 1463) was Prince of Taranto, Duke of Bari, Count of Lecce, Acerra, Soleto and Conversano, as well as Count of Matera (1433–63) and of Ugento (1453–63). He was the son of Raimondo Del Balzo Orsini, Prince of Taranto, and Mary of Enghien, an heiress of the Brienne main branch. Prince Gianantonio acted as the Grand Constable of the Kingdom of Naples. ==Succession of niece and death== In 1419, Giannantonio married Anna Colonna, daughter of lord Lorenzo Onofrio Colonna. Quite early, it was evident that he would be succeeded by the children of his siblings. Giannantonio's niece, Isabella of Clermont, was the heiress presumptive of large feudal possessions in Southern Italy. In 1444 by royal mandate, she was married to Ferdinand I of Naples, the illegitimate son of King Alfonso V of Aragon. In 1458, King Alfonso made Ferdinand King of the territories of Southern Italy that had been conquered from the Angevin kings in the previous decades. As such, Ferdinand used the title King of Naples and Jerusalem, and Isabella became Queen Consort. Giovanni Antonio died a rebel in 1463 without legitimate issue; he was strangled in Altamura and King Ferdinand confiscated most of his lands. Isabella died soon afterwards in 1465. Her heir was her eldest son, the future Alfonso II of Naples, who, like his father, used the title King of Naples and Jerusalem during his reign (1494–95). He died at Altamura. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Giovanni Antonio Del Balzo Orsini」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
