1390 CE

Clement VII at Avignon had crowned a French prince, Louis II of Anjou, as king of Naples, the day before Tomacelli's election by the fourteen cardinals who remain faithful to the papacy at Rome.

The youthful Ladislaus is the rightful heir of King Charles III of Naples, assassinated in 1386, and Margaret of Durazzo, scion of a line that has traditionally supported the popes in their struggles in Rome with the anti-papal party in the city itself.

Boniface IX sees to it that Ladislaus is crowned King of Naples at Gaeta on May 29, 1390, and will work with him for the next decade to expel the Angevin forces from southern Italy.
