The Angevin dynasty begun by Charles I of Anjou is closely associated with the Florentine Guelfs and their support of the papacy against the Hohenstaufen empire and Ghibellines. Many Florentine families carried the red label with gold fleur-de-lis on their coats of arms, known as the Angevin label or capo d'Angiò. Charles was signore of Florence in 1267. His son Robert was king of Naples (1309-1343) and signore of Florence (1312-1317), and his brother Philip led an army in support of the Florentine Guelfs at the Battle of Montecatini in 1315.
