Princess of Taranto


This is a list of princesses of Taranto, a principality in Southern Italy. As dynastic wives, they were often expected to mediate between their birth and marital families, such as when Isabella di Chiaramonte, princess of Taranto, mediated with her family on behalf of Ferrante during the War of Succession (1458–1465).
