Clarissa d'Aragona

Clarissa d'Aragona (c. 1503-1567) was an Italian princess and consort of King Anders I. Clarissa ws famous in her age for being a very beautiful woman.

Biography
Clarissa was born around 1502-03 to Frederick IV of Naples and his second wife, Isabella del Balzo, their youngest child. In 1404 her father was deposed from power by the French and after some time in exile Isabella settled with her younger children in the Duchy of Ferrara.

Clarissa was an extremely beautiful girl and from a young age she had many suitors. Her mother refused them all, given that her daughter was a princess (if only in name) and should thus marry someone of equal rank. Eventually in 1519 Isabella had arranged a marriage for her daughter to Brunanter Prince Anders, heir to his throne.
