The origins of the Sicilian monarchy lie in the Norman conquest of southern Italy which occurred between the 11th and 12th century. Sicily, which was ruled as an Islamic emirate for at least two centuries, was invaded in 1071 by Norman House of Hauteville , who conquered Palermo and established a feudal county named the County of Sicily .
The first Sicilian monarch was Roger I, Count of Sicily. The last monarch was King Ferdinand III of Sicily; during his reign, the Kingdom of Naples merged with the Kingdom of Sicily. The subsequent monarchs were Kings of the Two Sicilies. See also: List of monarchs of Sicily; List of monarchs of Naples. Kings of Naples family tree
