CARLOTTA GAETANI PRINCIPESSA DI SAN SEVERO E LE SUE FIGLIE

The marriage of Raimondo di Sangro with Carlotta Gaetani dell’Aquila d'Aragona, was the result of economic agreements between Nicola dell’Aquila of Aragona and Geronima Loffredo, widow of Paolo di Sangro. It seems to have been a happy marriage. Carlotta, lady of the queen and inseparable companion of her husband, makes efforts to enhance the honour and dignity of her family. When her husband died, she enjoyed the protection of sovereign, and made every effort to protect his son Vincenzo from the onerous debts he accumulated. After the death of her parents, the two daughters, Carlotta, that was given the name of her mother, and Rosalie experienced very different and equally painful lives. The former could not become a canoness due to the poor economic conditions of the family, the latter was affected by poor health and asked to be separated by her husband.
