Raymond Berengar of Andria (Paperback)

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Raymond Berengar (between 1279 and 1282 - 1307) was the count of Andria and possibly Count of Provence and Prince of Piedmont. Raymond Berengar was the fifth son of Charles II of Naples and Maria of Hungary. He was born in Provence during a brief return of his father to take command of a fleet there. His homeland is evidenced in his Proven al name and the name of his nurse, Adelasia of Aix-en-Provence. He was known to have been born after Robert and no document of the time places him in Naples for many more years. Consequently, he spent his childhood under the guardianship of William de Manoir in the cities of Aix, Sisteron, St Victor, near Marseilles, and Baryols. It is from Sisiteron that a letter was sent, dated 2 May 1286, by him and his two brother, Robert and Louis, asking Edward I of England for the release of their captive father.
