Joanna I queen of Naples (1343-1347)

Joanna inherited Provence, along with Naples, at the age of 15 from her grandfather Robert. It cannot be said that her reign was distinguished by prudence, which, in general, is difficult to expect from a person at that age. It is clear that the influence of the environment was great. But the queen herself was not a model of behavior. In 1345, Joanna's husband Andrei, who claimed to participate in the reign, was poisoned, and a year later the queen married one of his probable killers - her lover Louis of Tarentum. She remained ruler of Provence until her death in 1382, but from 1347 coins were minted in the name of Giovanna and Louis, with whom, unlike her previous husband, the queen shared power.

Raymond VI (1194-1222) or Raymond VII (1222-1249) counts of Toulouse

Raymond VI (1156-1222) was the son of Count Raymond V and Constance, daughter of King Louis VI. After his father's death in 1194, he inherited the counties of Toulouse, Saint-Gilles, Narbonne, the Marquisate of Gothia and the Marquisate of Provence.
Raymond ruled in the midst of the struggle with the sect of Albiguian Cathars. However, it is difficult to call it a sect by today's concepts - the Albigoyans were most of the population of the south of France, and Raymond himself sympathized with them, which, of course, did not like the Pope, twice excommunicated him from the church. In 1208 began a crusade against the Albigoyans. At first, Raymond did not help, but also did not oppose, however, in 1211 he moved to open resistance. Things did not go well and in 1213 he had to flee to England, but in 1214 he submitted to the Pope. In 1215 the Fourth Lateran Council deprived Raymond VI of his rights to his lands and gave them to Simon de Montfort, the leader of the Albigoy Crusade, leaving Raymond and his son only the Marquisate of Provence.
Understandably, they did not agree with this state of affairs. The cathedral's decision, by and large, meant nothing. The time was such that whoever had more power was right. And the population (in fact, the same Albigoyan Cathars), for obvious reasons supported their count. In 1216 father and son entered Marseilles, then seized the fortress of Boker, and in 1217 Toulouse. In 1218 de Montfort died at Toulouse. Raymond VI was already 62 years old at that time (a very respectable age for those times, few people even lived to such years) and he actually handed over the affairs to his son. In 1222 Raymond VI died.
