Английская Википедия:Battle of Ponza (1435)
Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox military conflict
The naval battle of Ponza was fought in early August 1435, when the Duke of Milan dispatched the Genoese navy to relieve the besieged town of Gaeta,[1] which was currently under threat from the King of Aragon.[2]
Conflict
Joan II, Queen of Naples, died on 2 February 1435,[3] and by her will bestowed Rene d'Anjou with the crown of Naples.[2] However, Alfonso, king of Aragon and Sicily, whom Queen Joan II had primarily adopted, claimed the succession, on the ground of this first adoption.[3] Thus the successionist war between the House of Anjou and the House of Barcelona over the Kingdom of Naples ensued.[4][1]
At this critical moment Rene d'Anjou was currently imprisoned in the Duchy of Burgundy[5] and Alfonso of Aragon lost no time in stirring up his partisans in the Kingdom of Naples, whilst he himself sailed from Sicily with a large fleet to besiege Gaeta.[2]
Gaeta itself was garrisoned by the Genoese[6] who shortly after Queen Joan's death dispatched Francesco Spinola with 800 infantry.[7][8] The Duke of Milan (to whom the Republic of Genoa had lately submitted)[3] sided with the House of Anjou[8] and dispatched a Genoese fleet[1] in July under Biagio Assereto in order to relieve Gaeta.[8] Alfonso immediately sailed against the Genoese fleet[4] with superior numbers.[5] The two fleets met near the island of Ponza and after a long and gallant conflict,[5] which lasted for ten hours,[1] the Genoese were completely victorious.[9] The royal galley of Aragon was compelled to strike,[5] and Alfonso V, King of Aragon was captured.[10]
Aftermath
The siege of Gaeta was lifted,[4] and the return of the Genoese fleet was met with a triumphant reception at Genoa.[11] The King and all the noble Aragonese prisoners were then brought to Milan before the Duke,[8] and with this one strike the war seemed already over.[12]
However the King of Aragon managed to persuade the Duke of Milan to his side and against Rene d'Anjou, and was set at liberty with all other prisoners.[3] The Genoese were so utterly exasperated by the Duke's decision[6] that they started to rebel against him, drove out the Milanese garrison and overthrew his rule on 27 December 1435.[3]
