## Commentary

Maria of Calabria \(Mary of Durazzo, 1329-1366\), was the fifth and posthumous child of Charles, Duke of Calabria \(eldest son of King Robert the Wise of Naples\), and Mary of Valois \(sister of King Philip VI of France\). She was married in 1343 to Charles, Duke of Durazzo. She died at age 37, probably from childbirth complications, and was buried at Santa Chiara in Naples. Her monument, made by a follower of Giovanni and Pacio da Firenze, was placed among the Anjou tombs on the back wall in the presbytery of Santa Chiara.
