Quick facts Duchess consort of Calabria, Tenure ...

On 23 March 1297, in Rome, Yolande married Robert. He was the third born son of Charles II of Naples and Maria of Hungary. Robert married Yolanda in exchange for James II of Aragon's renouncing of Sicily (James was Yolanda's brother).

Yolande was then escorted to Naples by her new brother-in-law, Raymond Berengar of Andria.

Yolande and Robert had two sons:

  • Charles (1298–1328),[2] Duke of Calabria (1309), Viceroy of Naples (1318), who was the father of Queen Joanna of Naples
  • Louis (1301–10)

The same month as Yolande's death was the peace of Caltabellotta, which ended the war of the Vespers. Her husband inherited the throne seven years later.

On Yolande's death, Robert married Sancha of Majorca. This marriage was childless.
