The
Kingdom of Sicily
(Latin:
Regnum Siciliae
, Italian:
Regno di Sicilia
, Sicilian:
Regnu di Sicilia
, Catalan:
Regne de Sicília
, Spanish:
Reino de Sicilia
) was a state that existed in the south of the Italian peninsula and for a time the region of Ifriqiya from its founding by Roger II of Sicily in 1130 until 1816. It was a successor state of the County of Sicily, which had been founded in 1071 during the Norman conquest of the southern peninsula. The island was divided into three regions: Val di Mazara, Val Demone and Val di Noto;
val
being the apocopic form of the word
vallo
, derived from the Arabic word
wilāya
(meaning 'district').
In 1282, a revolt against Angevin rule, known as the Sicilian Vespers, threw off Charles of Anjou's rule of the island of Sicily. The Angevins managed to maintain control in the mainland part of the kingdom, which became a separate entity also styled
Kingdom of Sicily
, although it is commonly referred to as the Kingdom of Naples, after its capital. The island became a separate kingdom under the Crown of Aragon.
After 1302, the island kingdom was sometimes called the
Kingdom of Trinacria
. Often the kingship was vested in another monarch such as the King of Aragon, the King of Spain, or the Holy Roman Emperor. In 1816, the island Kingdom of Sicily merged with the Kingdom of Naples to form the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies. In 1861, the Two Sicilies were invaded and conquered by the house of Savoy, with Sardinia and several northern city-states and duchies to form the Kingdom of Italy.
