Younger house Anjou

The younger house of Anjou (also called House Valois-Anjou ) was a branch line of the House of Valois , which had split off from the main line in 1356 (conferring the title Count of Anjou ). It descends from Louis of France , a younger son of King John II (Jean II), who, in addition to the Anjou line, also made the younger house of Burgundy possible in 1363 .

Count Ludwig von Anjou was adopted in 1380 by Johanna I , Queen of Naples (from the older house of Anjou ) and thus appointed heir, could not enforce his claims in Naples, especially not in the no longer existing Kingdom of Jerusalem , but in the Provence. In the third generation, the younger Anjou family inherited the Duchy of Lorraine , which was lost fifty years later due to a lack of sons.
