Kings of Both Sicilies
Sicily and Southern Italy were under Arab and Byzantine
control when Norman knights conquered the region during the 11th
century and created an independent state. It was called the Kingdom of
Sicily from 1130. The kingdom was divided in two parts 1282 after a
rebellion on the island of Sicily. The mainland retained the name "Kingdom
of Sicily" although it is usually referred to as the "Kingdom of Naples", on
the other hand the official name of the island state was the "Kingdom of Trinacria"
but it was usually called the "Kingdom of Sicily". When these two
kingdoms were ruled by the same king they were usually called the "Kingdom
of Both Sicilies", although it did not become the official name until 1815.

Sicily and Naples
A series of wars called the Italian Wars began at the end of
15th century. They erupted because the French kings inherited the
house of Anjous’s claim on the kingdom of Naples. The French managed to
conquer Naples two times, the last time (1501) in collaboration with the
Spanish king Ferdinand the Catholic, who became co-regent in Naples. He
outmanoeuvred the French from the kingdom 1503-04 so that he became the sole
ruler of Both Sicilies.
Both Sicilies was 1860 conquered by Garibaldi and became a part of the
unified
Italy
