Everything about Louis Of Durazzo totally explained
Louis of Durazzo (
1324 –
July 22,
1362,
Naples), was Count of
Gravina and
Morrone . He was the son of
John of Gravina and Agnes of Périgord.
In 1337, he was named Vicar- and Captain-General of the
Kingdom of Albania. During the ascencion of the Durazzeschi at the court of
Naples during the reign of
Joan I, he was one of the royal ambassadors to the
Roman Curia. Upon the invasion of
Louis I of Hungary and the execution of his elder brother,

Louis of Taranto, and Louis of Durazzo was imprisoned in the
Castel dell'Ovo in Naples and murdered by poison.

- Louis (1344–d. young)
- Charles III of Naples (1345–1386)
- Agnes (1347–d. young)
