Description

René of Anjou was recognized by the Holy Roman emperor Sigismund as duke of Lorraine and René also inherited Anjou and Provence from Louis III. Meanwhile Joan II of Naples, who died in 1435, had made René her heir, but he could not defend the city from his rivals. The Anglo-French negotiations at Tours in 1444 led to the marriage of his daughter Margaret to the English king Henry VI in 1445. Meanwhile Charles VII of France had helped René to pacify Lorraine. As a thank you, René accompanied Charles VII on his victorious campaigns of 1449-50 against the English in Normandy. On his wife's death (1453), her duchy of Lorraine passed to René's son John. With Louis XI of France his relations were generally strained, and Louis forced him to yield Anjou to the French crown. René performed a balancing act through his career and his ties to the English crown could maybe have led to a different course for Provence.
