Stephen of Durazzo (born Stefano di Durazzo, later known as Estêvão de Nápoles in Portugal) (c.1320-1380) was the youngest son of John, Duke of Durazzo, and his wife Agnés de Périgord. He was a grandson of Charles II, king of Naples. He moved to Portugal as a crusader, having fought the Moors alongside his cousin king Afonso IV at the battle of Salado, as mentioned in Duarte Nunes de Leão's Chronicle. Known in Portugal as Estêvão de Nápoles (Stephen of Naples), he gave origin to the Portuguese family Nápoles, a branch of the linneage of the Anjou kings of Naples.[1]
Marriage and children
He married Margarida Anes de Meneses, daughter of the 4th Count of Barcelos, D. João Afonso Telo de Meneses. His only (known) son was Leonardo Estêvão de Nápoles, although an unnamed daughter is sometimes referred.
