Excerpt from Charles III. Of Naples and Urban Vi;, And, Cecco D'ascoli, Poet, Astrologer, Physician: Two Historical Essays
Unfortunately, a life-long jealousy and enmity had subsisted between the King of Hungary and his cousin, Queen Joanna, owing to the bitter family divisions which had formerly culminated in the assassination of his brother Andrew, her first hus band, in 1345. These feelings, though necessarily moderated by time, and by vengeance taken, had been assiduously kept alive through the vindictive vigour of the old queen-mother, Elisabeth, who now governed her native Poland for her son Louis. Outward harmony between the respective realms was, nevertheless, ably preserved by the political tact of three successive Ponti¿'s - Innocent VI., Urban V., and Gregory XL, who continuously advised and favoured the unfortunate Queen of Naples.
