Charles Martel (Hungarian: Martell Károly; 8 September 1271 – 12 August 1295) of the Capetian dynasty was the eldest son of king Charles II of Naples and Mary of Hungary,[1] the daughter of King Stephen V of Hungary.

The 18-year-old Charles Martel was set up by Pope Nicholas IV and the ecclesiastical party as the titular King of Hungary (1290–1295) as the successor of his maternal uncle,[1] the childless Ladislaus IV of Hungary against whom the Pope had already earlier declared a crusade.

Charles Martel was, however, successful in asserting his claim in the Kingdom of Croatia, then in personal union with Hungary.

He married Clemence of Habsburg (d. 1295), daughter of Rudolph I, King of Germany.
