Lauria s 40 Angevin galleys were at Naples when 32 Sicilian galleys under d Oria arrived and challenged him to come out. For the first time he refused, probably because of a lack of confidence in his Angevin crews, and d Oria ravaged some offshore islands. This allowed 12 Apulian galleys to arrive from the south and 7 Genoese galleys to arrive also, and join Lauria s fleet, making 59 galleys. Now Lauria emerged and found the Sicilians near Zannone Island to the west. After d Oria dismissed a suggestion to retreat, he tried a quick attack on Lauria s flag galley and the banner carrying galleys, his own galley running alongside Lauria s, head to toe and Lauria s crew suffered even though his galley couldn t be boarded. 1 Sicilian galley fled after capturing one of Lauria s galleys, and it was followed by 6 more. 5 Genoese Ghibelline galleys held back, awaiting fortune, and 18 29 2 sources give 28, but this adds up to too many Sicilian galleys were captured, d Oria s being the last to surrender when Lauria threatened to burn it .
