Pope Innocent VIII, in conflict with King…

January 1494 CE

Pope Innocent VIII, in conflict with King Ferdinand I of Naples over Ferdinand's refusal to pay feudal dues to the papacy, had excommunicated and deposed Ferdinand by a bull of September 11, 1489.

Innocent had then offered the Kingdom of Naples to Charles VIII of France, who has a remote claim to its throne because his grandfather, Charles VII, King of France, had married Marie of Anjou of the Angevin dynasty, the ruling family of Naples until 1442.

Innocent had later settled his quarrel with Ferdinand and revoked the bans before dying in 1492, but the offer to Charles remains an apple of discord in Italian politics.

Ferdinand dies on January 25, 1494, and is succeeded by his son Alfonso II.
