Combatant identification

[edit]

The term Angevin Empire is standardly used for the possessions of Henry II of England and his immediate successors, and not for those of Charles of Anjou - even though his supporters are commonly referred to as Angevins. I've replaced it with the Kingdom of Naples in the list of combatants - which is the relevant political entity, even if the term is anachronistic in this context.

June or July

[edit]

It appears sources conflict on the month of the battle. The existing sources and the article had July 8th. Today it was changed to June 8th citing this paper. I've reverted the change until we can sort things out. I know it's not definitive, but a Google search for June 8 returns "about 7 results", while a Google search for July 8 returns "about 11,000 results". Thoughts?
