Historical background
LORRAINE - DUCHY OF BAR - RENÉ I OF ANJOU
(1419-1480)
René of Anjou (1409-1480), better known as "Good King René" was also Count of Provence (1434-1480), Duke of Bar (1419-1480). By his marriage to Isabelle de Lorraine, the daughter of Duke Charles, he became Duke of Lorraine. He was also king of Naples (1438-1442), titular king of Sicily and nominal of Jerusalem (1434-1480). In Lorraine, he met the opposition of Antoine de Vaudemont until 1437. On the death of Isabella in 1453, he entrusted the administration of the duchy to Jean de Calabria.
