==Kings of Sicily== Roger II received royal investiture from [[Antipope Anacletus II]] in 1130 and recognition from [[Pope Innocent II]] in 1139. The [[Kingdom of Sicily]], which by then comprised not only the island, but also the [[Mezzogiorno|southern third of the Italian peninsula]], rapidly expanded itself to include [[Malta]] and the [[Kingdom of Africa|Mahdia]], the latter if only briefly. ===[[Hauteville family|House of Hauteville]], 1130–1198=== {{Sticky header}} {{Monarchs - table header||extra column=Claim}} | '''[[Roger II of Sicily|Roger II]]'''<br />1130–1154 || [[File:Martorana RogerII2008.jpg|100px|Roger II]] || 22 December 1095<br />[[Mileto]]<br />son of [[Roger I of Sicily]] and [[Adelaide del Vasto]] || [[Elvira of Castile (Sicilian queen)|Elvira of Castile]]<br />1117<br />6 children<br /><br />[[Sibyl of Burgundy]]<br />1149<br />2 children<br /><br />[[Beatrix of Rethel]]<br />1151<br />1 child || 26 February 1154<br />[[Palermo]]<br />aged 58||[[Papal bull]] by<br>[[Antipope Anacletus II]] |- | '''[[William I of Sicily|William I the Bad]]'''<br />1154–1166 || [[File:William I of Sicily.jpg|100px|William I]] || 1121<br />son of [[Roger II of Sicily|Roger II]] and [[Elvira of Castile (Sicilian queen)|Elvira of Castile]]|| [[Margaret of Navarre, Queen of Sicily|Margaret of Navarre]]<br />4 children|| 7 May 1166<br />[[Palermo]]<br />aged 45||Son of [[Roger II of Sicily|Roger II]]<hr>Agnatic primogeniture |- | '''[[William II of Sicily|William II the Good]]'''<br />1166–1189 || [[File:Monreale photo ru Sibeaster02.jpg|100px|William II]] || 1155<br />son of [[William I of Sicily|William I]] and [[Margaret of Navarre, Queen of Sicily|Margaret of Navarre]]|| [[Joan of England, Queen of Sicily|Joan of England]]<br />February 1177<br />1 child|| 11 November 1189<br />[[Palermo]]<br />aged 34||Son of [[William I of Sicily|William I]]<hr>Agnatic primogeniture |- | '''[[Tancred of Sicily|Tancred I]]'''<br />1189–1194<br /><small>(joint rule)</small>|| [[File:Tancred von Lecce.jpg|100px|Tancred]] || 1138<br />illegitimate son of [[Roger III, Duke of Apulia]]|| [[Sibylla of Acerra]]<br />6 children|| 20 February 1194<br />[[Palermo]]<br />aged 56|||Illegitimate grandson of<br>[[Roger II of Sicily|Roger II]]<hr>Seizure |- | '''[[Roger III of Sicily|Roger III]]'''<br />1193<br /><small>(joint rule)</small>|| [[File:Tankred syni.jpg|100px|Hauteville]] ||1175<br />son of [[Tancred of Sicily]] and [[Sibylla of Acerra]] || [[Irene Angelina]]<br />no children || 24 December 1193<br />aged 18||Son of [[Tancred of Sicily|Tancred I]]<hr>Agnatic primogeniture |- | '''[[William III of Sicily|William III]]'''<br />1194 || [[File:William III of Sicily.jpg|100px|William III]] || 1190<br />son of [[Tancred of Sicily|Tancred]] and [[Sibylla of Acerra]]|| never married||1198<br />aged 8||Son of [[Tancred of Sicily|Tancred I]]<hr>Agnatic primogeniture |- | '''[[Constance I of Sicily|Constance I]]'''<br />1194–1198|| [[File:Constance-Sicily.jpg|100px|Constance]] || 2 November 1154 <br />daughter of [[Roger II of Sicily|Roger II]] and [[Beatrix of Rethel]]|| [[Henry VI, Holy Roman Emperor]]<br />1184<br />1 child|| 27 November 1198<br />[[Palermo]]<br />aged 44||Posthumous daughter of<br>[[Roger II of Sicily|Roger II]]<hr>[[Right of Conquest]] |- |} Constance was married to the [[Henry VI, Holy Roman Emperor|Emperor Henry VI]] and he pressed his claim to the kingdom from William II's death, but only succeeded in displacing his wife's family in 1194.

He may even have been crowned and seems to have had the support of Constance, who had turned against her husband. In the end he was captured and executed.

In 1254 the pope, having declared the kingdom a Papal possession, offered the crown to the [[Henry III of England|King of England's]] son, [[Edmund Crouchback]], but the English never succeeded in taking the kingdom. In 1262 the pope reversed his previous decision and granted the kingdom to the [[Louis IX of France|King of France's]] brother, [[Charles I of Naples|Charles of Anjou]], who succeeded in dispossessing Manfred in 1266. Conradin continued his claim to the throne until his death by decapitation perpetrated by Charles of Anjou in 1268. ====[[House of Plantagenet]]==== '''[[Edmund Crouchback, 1st Earl of Lancaster|Edmund Crouchback]]''', son of King [[Henry III of England]], claimed the Crown of Sicily between 1254 and 1263.

Thereafter the old Kingdom of Sicily was centred on the mainland, with capital at [[Naples]], and although informally called [[Kingdom of Naples]] it was still known formally as "Kingdom of Sicily". Thus, there were two "Sicilies" — the island kingdom, however, was often called "Sicily beyond the Lighthouse" or "[[Kingdom of Trinacria|Trinacria]]", by terms of a treaty between the two states. ===[[House of Barcelona]], 1282–1410=== {{Monarchs - table header|extra column=Claim}} |''' [[Constance of Sicily, Queen of Aragon|Constance II]]'''<br />1268/1282–1285<br /><small>(joint rule)</small> || [[File:D.
