Charles Martel d'Anjou

See also Charles Martel (676-741).

Charles Martel (September 8 1271 - Naples August 12 1295), also known as Charles I Martel, Charles Martel d'Anjou, and (in Italian) Carlo Martello' was the son of king Charles II of Naples and Maria of Hungary, the daughter of King Stephen V of Hungary. He was a titular King of Hungary from 1290 to 1295 and married Klementia von Habsburg (d.1295), daughter of Emperor Rudolf I.

Their son Charles Robert became King Charles I of Hungary. Their daughter Clemence d'Anjou (1293 - 1328) married on August 13 1315 to Louis X of France and was the mother of John I of France.

Charles was apparently known personally to Dante: in the Divine Comedy the poet speaks warmly of and to Charles's spirit when they meet in the Heaven of Venus.
