Kingdom of Sicily: All Data

This page is about the data available for this polity, the chronology of the events of the polity is available here.

Was a Kingdom that emerged from the union of the county of Sicily (that controlled Sicily and Malta) with the Norman possessions in southern Italy (that included the entire southern Italian Peninsula south to the Papal States, the same region of the later Kingdom of Naples). In 1282 a revolt against the Angevin rule (the Sicilian Vespers) divided the kingdom in two, the Kingdom of Sicily being reduced again to the sole island of the same name. After Sicily entered into a Personal Union with Aragon in 1479, the Kingdom was always controlled by an external country. It ceased to exist in 1816 when it was merged with the Kingdom of Naples to form the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies.
