By this time the Kingdom of Jerusalem was only titular, Sicily was ruled by the Aragonese and Naples was ruled by Giovanna II/Jeanne II d&#039;Anjou-Durazzo. As an exponent of the House of Valois-Anjou, Louis was just titular and pretender to the throne of Naples, and not acting King.</p><p><br /></p><p>His coinage in Provence where he was regnant Count is marked by his projection as King of Sicily and Jerusalem, showing both the coat of arms of Jerusalem and that of his Angevin family. Basically a propaganda piece.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
