AH Question: Felician Zah kills Andrew of Hungary; Consequences?

In thinking about the success and failings of the Capetian Anjou family in Southern and Eastern Europe, I don't know that this has been discussed before. A Hungarian noble, angered at his king over advances the future Casimir III of Poland makes towards his daughter, attempts to kill the family of the King of Hungary. The attack was largely thwarted by two brave guards, but what if suppose the attack had cost Andrew, the future Duke of Calabria, his life?

Who succeeds in Naples? Who do Joanna and Maria marry? Does this help or hurt the longevity of the Capetian House of Anjou? What are the ramification beyond Naples and Hungary?

Discuss.

I did similar thread but with Louis killed instead of Andrew:
https://www.alternatehistory.com/fo...n-louis-danjou-killed-by-felician-záh.460339/
Result for Naples would be similar-Hungarian Angevins have no spare prince to marry on the other side of Adriatic. I'd say Joanna would marry her cousin from Taranto line (Robert or Louis) as first husband.

Except that in scenario where only Andrew dies, Hungarian Angevins have an spare prince to marry to Joanna in the person of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_of_Anjou, ITTL he would be the one who marries Joanna. He'd be probably murdered like his brother Andrew, but he was more fertle and could be able to father a surviving son (or daughter) before his death.
 
Stephen was born after my POD his existence is not guaranteed. Let's say either they don't have another son ITTL or that they have a daughter instead. Then what?

Than Louis I of Hungary himself would marry Joanna. He was born before your POD and your POD doesn't involve him dying.

True, but isn't there still interest in keeping the crowns separate?

From the POV of Hungarian Angevins? No. They were the elder branch of dynasty and from their POV Naples should belong to them anyways and it is the act of mercy that they're willing to marry one among the rightful heirs to their usurper cousin.

And from the POV of Naples? Why would the view of Hungary matter more here than in OTL?
