Former state in Italy from 1282 to 1816 / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Kingdom of Naples (Latin: Regnum Neapolitanum; Italian: Regno di Napoli; Neapolitan: Regno 'e Napule) comprised the part of the Italian Peninsula south of the Papal States between 1282 and 1816. It was established by the War of the Sicilian Vespers (1282–1302), when the island of Sicily revolted and was conquered by the Crown of Aragon, becoming a separate kingdom also called the Kingdom of Sicily.[1] In 1817, it reunified with the island of Sicily to form the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies.
