Alfonso V (known as ‘ the Magnanimous’) (1396–1458) King of Aragon (1416–58) and of Naples (1443–58). He pursued a foreign policy committed to territorial expansion, particularly in Italy. Joanna II, Queen of Naples, adopted him as her heir and on her death he transferred his court to Naples in 1443, which he developed as a centre of RENAISSANCE culture. His patronage earned the admiration of contemporary humanists.
