Henry's friendship was of essential importance to the pope two years later, when Alfonsob> II, Duke of Ferrara, died childless (27 Oct., 1597), and Pope Clement resolved to bring the stronghold of the Este dynasty under the immediate jurisdiction of the Church.
It was equally clear to Pope Clement that it was his duty to brave the selfish hostility of Spain by acknowledging the legitimate claims of Henry, as soon as he convinced himself that the latter's conversion was something more than a political manoeuvre.
Upon Clement's elevation to the papacy, the aged saint gave over this important office to Baronius, whom the pope, notwithstanding his reluctance, created a cardinal, and to whom he made his confession every evening.

RenÃ© had the confidence of Charles VIIb>, and is said to have initiated the reduction of the men-at-arms set on foot by the king, with whose military operations against the English he was closely associated.
RenÃ©'s captivity, and the poverty of the Angevin resources due to his ransom, enabled Alfonsob> V of Aragon, who had been first adopted and then repudiated by Joan II, to make some headway in the kingdom of Naples, especially as he was already in possession of the island of Sicily.
Louis II died in 1417, and his sons, together with their brother-in-law, afterwards Charles VIIb> of France, were brought up under the guardianship of their mother.

Â Heraldry in Pre-Unification Italy

In 1442 Alfonsob> V of Aragon (1394-1458) conquered Naples and in 1443 was recognized as king of Naples by the pope: thus the two Sicilies were united again; it was under him that the expression "kingdom of Two Sicilies" first appeared.
From 1806 to 1808, the kingdom of Naples was in the hands of Joseph Bonaparte, brother of Napoleon I, and, when he was promoted king of Spain, he was replaced by Joachim Murat (1808-15).
The pope (as overlord of Naples) invested Louis as king of Naples but the latter's efforts at retaking the kingdom failed; Louis was succeeded by Louis II who was crowned by the pope in 1389 and held the kingdom until expelled by Carlo III's son Ladislao (1376-1414).
