List of monarchs of Naples and Sicily

The following is a list of monarchs of the Kingdom of Naples and Sicily:

Counts of Sicily

Sicily was granted, pending its Christian reconquest, to Robert Guiscard as "duke" in 1059 by Pope Nicholas II. The Guiscard granted it as a county to his brother Roger.

*1101–1105 Simon
*1105–1130 Roger II

Kings of Sicily

Roger II received royal investiture from Antipope Anacletus II in 1130 and recognition from Pope Innocent II in 1139. Sicily, which by then comprised not only the island, but also the southern third of the Italian peninsula, rapidly expanded itself to include Malta and the Mahdia, the latter if only briefly.

Constance was married to the Emperor Henry VI and he pressed his claim to the kingdom from William II's death, but only succeeded in displacing his wife's family in 1194.

Hohenstaufen Dynasty, 1194–1266
*1194–1197 Henry I
*1198–1250 Frederick I
**1212–1217 Henry II, co-king
*1250–1254 Conrad
*1254–1258 Conradin (died 1268)
*1258–1266 Manfred

Conrad continued his claim until his death, but his guardian Manfred seized power in 1258.

Kings of the Two Sicilies

After 1282, Sicily was divided into Sicily proper (often called Trinacria diplomatically) and the mainland realm centred on Naples. These two kingdoms were reunited only much later.

Angevin Kings of Naples, 1266–1442

Charles of Anjou conquered Sicily in 1266, but lost the island itself in 1282. Thereafter, his kingdom, with its capital at Naples, is informally called the Kingdom of Naples.
