Kingdom of Naples
The Kingdom of Naples was born out of the division of the Kingdom of Sicily after the Sicilian Vespers rebellion of 1282. King Charles I of Sicily (Charles of Anjou) was forced to leave the island of Sicily by Peter III of Aragon's troops. Charles, however, maintained his possessions on the mainland, customarily known as the "Kingdom of Naples." Charles and his Angevin successors maintained a claim to Sicily, warring against the Aragonese until in 1373, Queen Joan I of Naples formally renounced the claim.
