CARAFFA, (ROBERTA) Princess of Avellino, in the Kingdom of Naples, wife of Camillo Caraccioli, created Knight of the Order of the Golden Fleece, by Philip III. King of Spain.
With an early taste for literature, this lady possessed great beauty, modesty, and wisdom. While her husband was engaged in war, she maintained peace and concord in his family, and among his vassals. She acquired great reputation by her eloquence and her learned writings, of which it does not appear that any have reached the present times.
