Joanna I, also known as Johanna I (Italian: Giovanna I; December 1325[1] - 27 July 1382), was Queen of Naples, and Countess of Provence and Forcalquier from 1343 to 1382; she was also Princess of Achaea from 1373 to 1381. Joanna was the eldest daughter of Charles, Duke of Calabria and Marie of Valois to survive infancy. Her father was the son of Robert the Wise, King of Naples, but he died before his father in 1328. Three years later, King Robert appointed Joanna as his heir and ordered his vassals to swear fealty to her. To strengthen Joanna's position, he concluded an agreement with his nephew, King Charles I of Hungary, about the marriage of Charles's younger son, Andrew, and Joanna. Charles I also wanted to secure his uncle's inheritance to Andrew, but King Robert named Joanna as his sole heir on his deathbed in 1343. He also appointed a regency council to govern his realms until Joanna's 21st birthday, but the regents could not actually take control of state administration after the King's death. Joanna's personal life crucially affected the political stability of the Kingdom of Naples (murder of her first husband Andrew in 1345, the invasions of King Louis I of Hungary as justification to avenge the death of his brother, and Joanna's three later marriages --with Louis of Taranto, James IV, titular King of Majorca and Otto, Duke of Brunswick-Grubenhagen--) and undermined her position with the Holy See, moreover after, during the Western Schism, she chose to support the Avignon Papacy against Pope Urban VI, who in retaliation declared her a heretic and dethroned on 11 May 1380.

In the night of the 15th of January 1343, while the inhabitants of Naples lay wrapped in peaceful slumber, they were suddenly awakened by the bells of the three hundred churches that this thrice blessed capital contains. In the midst of the disturbance caused by so rude a call the first bought in the mind of all was that the town was on fire, or that the army of some enemy had mysteriously landed under cover of night and could put the citizens to the edge of the sword. But the doleful, intermittent sounds of all these fills, which disturbed the silence at regular and distant intervals, were an invitation to the faithful pray for a passing soul, and it was soon evident that no disaster threatened the town, but that the king alone was in danger. Indeed, it had been plain for several days past that the greatest uneasiness prevailed in Castel Nuovo; the officers of the crown were assembled regularly twice a day, and persons of importance, whose right it was to make their way into the king's apartments, came out evidently bowed down with grief. But although the king's death was regarded as a misfortune that nothing could avert, yet the whole town, on learning for certain of the approach of his last hour, was affected with a sincere grief, easily understood when one learns that the man about to die, after a reign of thirty-three years, eight months, and a few days, was Robert of Anjou, the most wise, just, and glorious king who had ever sat on the throne of Sicily. And so he carried with him to the tomb the eulogies and regrets of all his subjects. Soldiers would speak with enthusiasm of the long wars he had waged with Frederic and Peter of Aragon, against Henry VII and Louis ofBavaria; and felt their hearts beat high, remembering the glories of campaigns in Lombardy and Tuscany; priests would gratefully extol his constant defence of the papacy against Ghibelline attacks, and the founding of convents, hospitals, and churches throughout his kingdom; in the world of letters he was regarded as the most learned king in Christendom; Petrarch, indeed, would receive the poet's crown from no other hand, and had spent three consecutive days answering all the questions that Robert had deigned to ask him on every topic of human knowledge. The men of law, astonished by the wisdom of those laws which now enriched the Neapolitan code, had dubbed him the Solomon of their day; the nobles applauded him for protecting their ancient privileges, and the people were eloquent of his clemency, piety, and mildness. In a word, priests and soldiers, philosophers and poets, nobles and peasants, trembled when they thought that the government was to fall into the hands of a foreigner and of a young girl, recalling those words of Robert, who, as he followed in the funeral train of Charles, his only son, turned as he reached the threshold of the church and sobbingly exclaimed to his barons about him, "This day the crown has fallen from my head: alas for me! alas for you!"

It was first published as part of his eight-volume series "Celebrated Crimes" (1839-40) and recounts the murder of Joan of Naples's first husband, Prince Andrew. A fantastically entertaining and engrossing work on a historical crime, "Joan of Naples" is highly recommended for fans and collectors of Dumas's seminal work, and would make for a worthy addition to any bookshelf. Joana I was Queen of Naples and Countess of Provence and Forcalquier from 1343 until her death. During her long reign she was involved in numerous conflicts both internal and external - and she was married four times.

Alexandre Dumas is a prominent French novelist best known for his historical fiction and adventure stories. His historical book "Joan of Naples" is set in past times. In "Joan of Naples," Dumas vividly depicts Queen Joan's turbulent reign as a strong and divisive figure in medieval Italy. Joan's life and the future of the Kingdom of Naples are both subject to the intricate web of politics, power plays, and interpersonal interactions that are explored in the book. Dumas expertly combines historical facts with fictional elements to create a compelling story. He dives into Queen Joan's personal and political intrigues, including her interactions with her husbands, lovers, and powerful people of the day. The story traces Joan's development from a young, innocent princess to a strong monarch who must contend with countless obstacles, betrayals, and plots. Dumas captures the bright atmosphere of Naples and its neighboring areas while painting a realistic vision of the medieval court, its grandeur, and its perils. Dumas successfully conveys both the complexity of Joan's character and the feel of the time via his engrossing narrative approach. He examines topics like authority, love, loyalty, and self-sacrifice while providing readers with an engrossing fusion of fact and fiction.
