 An assembly of nobles, religious leaders, and town leaders of Provence was organised to resist the authority of Queen Joan I of Naples (1343–1382).She was murdered in 1382 by her cousin and heir, Charles of Durazzo, who started a new war, leading to the separation of Nice, Puget-Théniers and Barcelonnette from Provence in 1388, and their attachment to the County of Savoy.From 1388 up to 1526, the area acquired by the Savoy was known as "Terres Neuves de Provence"; after 1526 it officially took on the name County of Nice.
