Coat of arms of Philip II of Taranto, the same as his brother Louis I of Naples.[1] They are the combination of the arms of Anjou and those of the Latin Empire of Constantinople.

He was the son of Philip I of Taranto and Catherine of Valois.[2] Upon the execution of his cousin Charles, Duke of Durazzo, in 1348, he succeeded as King of Albania. Shortly after, his older brother Louis married their first cousin, Joanna I of Naples, and became king. In April 1355, Philip married Joanna's younger sister, Maria of Calabria.[3]

In 1364, Philip succeeded as titular Latin Emperor of Constantinople and Prince of Achaea and Taranto on the death of his oldest brother, Robert.

Maria died in 1366. On 20 October 1370, Philip married yet another Angevin, Elizabeth of Slavonia, former heir presumptive to the throne of Hungary. He died on 25 November 1373[4][5] in Taranto.

All his children had died young. His heir was his sister's son James of Baux.

He had several illegitimate children.
