Papal State Sicily
First posted on April 12th 2002, using Dr. Link Check on October 1st 2012






The Norman Kingdom of Sicily was established in the 11th century. In 1282 it was split into the Kingdoms of Sicily and of Naples. From 1442 onward Sicily and Naples were in dynastic union, by the Crown of Aragon, since 1516 by the Habsburg Dynasty (since 1556 Spanish line). After the War of Spanish Succession, Spain ceded Sicily to Savoy-Piemont, Naples to Austria. After the War of the Quadruple Alliance, Austria and Savoy-Piemont switched Sicily (now to Austria) for Sardinia (now to Savoy-Piemont, 1720).
After the War of Polish Succession, Bourbon Spain regained control of the Kingdoms of Sicily and Naples (1734, diplomatically recognized in 1735), which in dynastic union were held by a sideline of the Spanish Bourbon Dynasty. This effectively established the Kingdom of Two Sicilies (term used since 1754).
The Kingdom was briefly split in 1799 (Naples - Parthenopean Republic) and 1806-1815 (separate Kingdoms of Naples, Sicily). The Bourbon Dynasty was restored in the Kingdom of Two Sicilies in 1815.
