A coup d'état at Milan May 16 deposes Bernabo Visconti, now 61, whose 30-year reign has embittered all of Lombardy. Accompanied by some 400 soldiers his 33-year-old nephew Gian Galeazzo Visconti pretends to cross lands controlled by Bernabo and asks if he may make a social call on his uncle (and father-in-law). Bernabo agrees, but as he rides with two of his sons to meet with Gian, Visconti's troop captain Jacopo dal Verme places him under arrest, seizes his wife and marriageable children, and imprisons him in the castle of Trezzo d'Adda, where he soon dies, probably of a slit throat or from poison. Son of the late Galeazzo II, Gian Galeazzo gives Bernabo a solemn funeral, takes over his possessions, and begins a systematic program of conquest (see 1395).
The Angevin king of Naples Carlo di Durazzo is crowned king of Hungary with help from courtiers of the late Louis I who oppose the accession of Louis's 10-year-old daughter Maria. He will reign until next year as Charles III (Károly Durrazzói), but Pope Urban VI places Naples under the interdict.

He confers knighthood on 60 men the night before the battle ("Good my lords," he says, "this order of chivalry is so high and so noble, that he who is a knight should have no dealing with anything that is low, with vile things or with cowardice"), disease forces the Castilians to withdraw, and João I, 28, will reign until 1433, establishing the Avis dynasty (see 1386).
