But residing in Naples he may not even know her.
He'd need to visit France sometimes still, he'd still have county of Anjou there.

@Kellan Sullivan mentioned that it was planned. It was meant to solve dispute over Luxembourg.

His brother, the comte du Maine will end up as "regent" of the dukedom of Anjou
Oh, well then Friedrich will marry Yolande or Marguerite.Emperor Friedrich III, who tried to marry Marguerite d'Anjou, seemed to have a bizarre fixation with a Neapolitan wife. Alfonso had no legitimate daughters or male-line nieces available when Friedrich came calling, so he directed him to Portugal. Not sure why Fritz wanted a Neapolitan wife (maybe it had to do with undercutting Ladislas the Posthumous' claim to Hungary? Viewing the Neapolitan Capets and then their adopted Angevin then Aragonese successors as heirs to that claim?)
Pretty likely he will move between France and Naples if Isabella remained based in Lorraine. I guess Anjou and Lorraine (and a French match) can go to the second son Louis, while John, the heir, will receive Naples and Provence and will marry Isabella of Clermont (who is the biggest heiress of the newly conquered Kingdom)But would Rene not care about it at all?

Alfonso didn't really care about Aragon once he got Naples FWIG. He was more than happy to leave it in his brother's hands

This is not very likely ITTL. He could as well fall in love with some noblewoman from Naples.So he could still meet de Laval lady, couldn't he?
Likely he still dies young. Naples and Lorraine may be split later, between sons of John and his Clermont wife.Louis marquis de Pont-a-Mousson died pretty early in Burgundian prison, would it be butterflied away ITTL?
For what reason? Burgundian prisons for him here are pretty unlikely and that was the reason of his death.This is not very likely ITTL. He could as well fall in love with some noblewoman from Naples.

He was hostage since 1432, that is 3 years before the POD.For what reason? Burgundian prisons for him here are pretty unlikely and that was the reason of his death
I was sure the POD was before that imprisonment. Then yes, he can still die or maybe he would be freed together with his brother after Rene became King of Naples.He was hostage since 1432, that is 3 years before the POD.
Pretty unlikely. Alfonso V of Aragon established his seat in Naples after he conquered it, and is likely who Rene will do the same.

At the time she already was mother of Alfonso's bastard-Ferrante was 12 yo.Maybe OTL mother of Ferrante, she was reported to be very pretty?

I think he was talking about Lucrezia d’Alagno and mistakenly believed she was Ferrante’s mother.At the time she already was mother of Alfonso's bastard-Ferrante was 12 yo.

She is only three years older than Jeanne de Laval and was know as a great beauty (and she was without doubt both ambitious and smart)
