Louis I, Duke of Anjou, was the adopted heir of Joan I. He succeeded her, de jure, on her death in 1382. His descendants fought the House of Durazzo, mostly in vain, but not without any successes, for the throne until an agreement was reached between Louis III and Joan II whereby she recognised him and his house as her heirs. René, Louis's brother, succeeded Joan in 1435.

René had a contestant in King Alfonso V of Aragon who had been previously considered as a successor by Joan II but had been later discarded in favour of René's brother. Alfonso conquered the kingdom manu militari and René was forced to flee. René's claim was inherited by either his nephew (Charles IV of Anjou, who died in 1481, leaving his claims to French king Louis XI) or his grandson (René II of Lorraine). The latter's descendants continued to claim the throne of Naples, as did the French kings, down to 1529, and intermittently until 1559.
