He intended the Hungarian throne for the eldest of his three sons, Lajos, and the crown of the Kingdom of Naples-Sicily for the middle one, Prince András, through his marriage to Princess Johanna. He planned that the brother rulers of the two countries would forge a solid unity that would be able to resist any external power aspirations.
But he did not count on the circumstances that András, the prince who came to Naples as a child, had to face almost immediately. The immoral way of life of the Neapolitan court, the all-pervading intrigue and wealth made András's everyday life miserable, who could only rely on his own court maintenance and bodyguards. However, his enemies did not rest, and the prince began to drift towards his doom.
