5. ANDRÁS (30 Nov 1327-murdered San Pietro a Maiella, near Aversa 18/19 Sep 1345, bur Naples Cathedral). The Chronica Ungarorum records that "Karoli" had a fourth son "Andreas" by his third wife "Elizabeth filiam regis Polonie" born in 1327[1043]. The Chronicon Varadiense names "duce…Ludovico postea rege…Andrea facto rege Siciliæ, Stephano Dalmatiæ Slavoniæ et Croatiæ duce" as the three sons of "Carolum regem Hungariæ"[1044]. The Benessii de Weitmil Chronicon names "Andreæ fratris Regis Ungariæ" when recording his marriage[1045]. His father travelled to Naples end-Summer 1333 hoping to have András adopted by his great-uncle Robert I King of Sicily, and declared his heir. He was created Duke of Calabria in 1333, and lived at Naples thereafter. The Pope granted him the title of king of Sicily on the succession of his wife, but excluded him from the government. He claimed a part in the government and the right to be crowned, but was entrapped and murdered, either on the orders of his cousins Charles of Durazzo or Louis of Tarento or his wife.
