PERIOD ANGIOINO

Corradino di Svevia arrived from the Germany to revenge the defeat of Manfredi, found in one situation much dangerous.

It tried to save itself with the escape. Betrayed from a baron in which confidava, it was delivered to Carl d' Angiò and these it made it to behead to Naples in public square 29 Market October 1268. During the war svevo-angioina, the Pisani and the Genovesi they annoyed the traffics trades them amalfitani on the sea and made incursions in lands of the former ones ducato.

They existed at that time to Agerola two molini to water, that one of the Vertina and that one of Pine, important in the life of the country to the ends of the human feeding and animal, but not less under the fiscal aspect.

The molitoria activity was then much profitable one for the molinaro and the common one, that it assured to the state treasury a sure entrance through the excise tax of the flour and the molitura; the gabellota, than it embedded the fiscal imposition, godeva of a straight percentage.

Agerola with Carl still endured a infeudamento, because the king donated it to a its official, than, then having lived dissolutamente made debits and not only exercised strong fiscal pressures, but it made quite incetta of goodses in order rivender them to increased price. The king angioino imposed for before turns the tax on knows them. He confirmed the excise tax of the fondaco, on the pece, the iron, the acciaro, the scannaggio, the meat, the fish, the oil and the wine. Then it made to apply the tax of the maintenance of the galee against the Turks, due also from the Agerolesi.

The documents that brought back the state of the population of the time taken a census from the Angioini for fire, that is for familiar unit, in the 1278 recorded Agerola for focolafibus 126 ET unc. 31112 that is 126 families with one contribuzione total of ounces 311/2. Agerola was common the more popoloso after Amalfi, that it counted 267 fires. The Agerolesi (under king Carl d' Angiò) was subject to the lever of earth and the supply of wood from construction. Some worked like segatori in the amalfitani arsenals, while to Naples they worked in the reggia, in 1280, the masters Tomaso carpenters and Lorenzo Cuomo, Deodato Amalfitano, Paschal Andrea and of Giustino and Matteo Avitabile. The judges of Agerola of that age, of which we have news, were Capuano de Casanova in the 1261 and lacobo Crisconi in 1282. 14 May 1284 Carl donated the Earth of Agerola to the milite Landolfo d' Aquino for the annual value of sixty ounces. The Agerolesi resorted against such vassallaggio and they refused to recognize the baiulo, the judge, the main juror and the other civil employees name from the vassallo. But to the Agerolesi it did not come recognized some reason. Nevertheless king Carl knew Agerola, because suina near our lovane merchant was resupplied of meat Peter, to which it ordered on behalf of the court of Naples salami, salsicce, prosciutti and lousy bacon “de boni odoris ET saporis” it' (of pig of good scent and taste).

The same Court was resupplied also of “cofinas” t2, that is of the cowlings manufactured from ours cestai with listelli of chestnut tree wood. To the dead women of Carl in the 1285 the succeeded Carl II Cripple, which came in war with the Aragoneses. Captive fact and obtained the freedom behind engagement to pay one sum strongly, subjected Agerola to the taxation of five ounces. (The collection was cured from the nobleman Landolfo Caracciolo).

In 1294 Carlo II granted the Earth of Agerola to the French Ugone de Sully, but Ugone refused for which the it entered Ludovico nobleman de' Mounts, to which Agerola was yielded for the value of one hundred ounces. But Carl II did not succeed to refrain the waste, indeed he still increased when its daughter Eleonora contracted wedding. Also this time the Agerolesi was opposed, but the Court of Naples rejected the resource. To Agerola, unfortunately, ugly times for the epidemics were lived then that were ollowed. When, but, the economic situation came to aggravate itself for the plague, then the king showed itself more comprehensive, therefore he exempted the Agerolesi partially paying the contribuzioni. It made emanating the appropriate decision the 17 september 1306. The common one of Amalfi, instead, imposed the custom office on fave, pears, legumi, cerasi, walnuts, nocciole, chestnuts, etc hitting ulteriorly the economy of the agerolesi that tradet with the coastal one. But the heavy hand of Amalfi was not stopped here, because it succeeded to make to exempt from the prediale tax the Amalfitani possessory of assets in Agerola. Between these large owners it figured Andrea d' Alagno, regal councilman of the king.
