Restaino Gioacchino di Tocco Cantelmo Stuart was born at Montemiletto on 6 August 1730, as the second son of Leonardo VII Tocco,[2] Prince of Montemiletto and titular Prince of Achaea, and the Italian noblewoman Camilla Cantelmo Stuart.[3] Camilla's family, the Cantelmo Stuarts, claimed descent from, and kinship with, the Scottish and English royal House of Stuart.[4] Restaino was named after his maternal grandfather, Restaino Cantelmo Stuart.[5]
Upon Leonardo VII's death on 31 March 1776, Restaino inherited his father's titles and claims, as his older brother Carlo had predeceased Leonardo, dying childless in 1747.[6] Restaino had been ordained as a priest on 26 April 1744, but he resigned in 1776 in order to be able to succeed his father, being confirmed as the heir through a court decision on 10 April 1776. In addition to inheriting Montemiletto and various other fiefs held by his family throughout Italy, Restaino also inherited his father's status as a Grandee of Spain and a knight of the Order of Saint Januarius.[2]
Restaino married twice. His first wife was Maria Camilla Cybo-Malaspina, the youngest daughter of the late Duke of Massa and Carrara, Alderano I. Restaino and Maria Camilla married in Massa on 31 January 1755, but she died just five years later, on 2 August 1760, aged just 32. Restaino's second wife was Maria Maddalena d’Aquino, daughter of Antonio d’Aquino, Prince of Caramanico (among other titles), whom he married in Naples on 23 April 1764.[1]
Restaino died in Naples on 21 February 1796.[2]
With his first wife, Maria Camilla Cybo Malaspina (1728–1760), Restaino di Tocco Cantelmo Stuart had four children:
With his second wife, Maria Maddalena d’Aquino (1748–1802), Restaino had eleven children:
