Maria of Anjou (1290 – end of April 1346/January 1347) was a member of the
Mary of Hungary.[1]
Maria married King Sancho by proxy at
Palma de Majorca on 20 September 1304 and in person in 1308.[1] The marriage produced no children, which threatened the survival of the young independent state. Sancho willed the kingdom to his nephew James to prevent it from falling to the Crown of Aragon
, and died in 1324.
Two years after Sancho's death, Maria married James of Ejerica, a member of the
King Robert of Naples, arranged her release, and she left Valencia after June 1337 for Barjols in Provence
. Maria died childless in 1346 or 1347.
