List of prisoners in battle and notes, ca. 1460, 1600s

Description
Four documents pasted onto 1 bifolium. The ca. 1460 document, probably from Naples, is a list of prisoners of battle, probably in the war between Ferdinand I, King of Naples, and Jean d'Anjou, duc de Calabre et de Lorraine, and includes the Duke d'Andria and the counts of Celano, Arpino, and Meleto. Antonio Piccolomini, duke of Amalfi, was made count of Celano in 1463. The other three documents are 17th-century notes. One has numbered entries from 1407 to 1598, perhaps referring to years, and mentions several members of the Piccolomini family and several counts. Another seems to be a single entry beginning with the number 1340 and mentions Jacomo di Meo. The third is a small piece of paper with a few names on it.
