The King of Hungary, his black flag ever borne before him, started for Naples, refusing all offered honours, and rejecting the canopy beneath which he was to make his entry, not even stopping to give audience to the chief citizens or to receive the acclamations of the crowd.

Armed at all points, he made for Castel Nuovo, leaving behind him dismay and fear.

His first act on entering the city was to order Dona Cancha to be burnt, her punishment having been deferred by reason of her pregnancy.
Like the others, she was drawn on a cart to the square of St.Eligius, and there consigned to the flames.

The young creature, whose suffering had not impaired her beauty, was dressed as for a festival, and laughing like a mad thing up to the last moment, mocked at her executioners and threw kisses to the crowd.
A few days later, Godfrey of Marsana, Count of Squillace and grand admiral of the kingdom, was arrested by the king's orders.

His life was promised him on condition of his delivering up Conrad of Catanzaro, one of his relatives, accused of conspiring against Andre.
