Individual:
Charles I (of Two Sicilies) (1226-85), king of the Two Sicilies (1266-85).
He was the posthumous son of Louis VIII, king of France, and the brother
of King Louis IX. He was given the countships of Anjou and Maine by his
brother, and through marriage in 1246 he became count of Provence. In 1248
he accompanied Louis on the Sixth Crusade. In 1250 he was captured and
briefly imprisoned, but later returned to Provence. By 1264 he controlled
much of Piedmont. Charles agreed to aid the pope in his struggle against
the Ghibellines in return for the kingdom of the Two Sicilies. In 1265
Charles invaded Italy; the following year the reigning monarch Manfred
(1232?-66) was killed in battle and Charles became king. In 1268, Conradin
(1252-68), nephew of Manfred and last of the Hohenstaufen dynasty, led a
revolt against Charles but was captured and executed. The king brutally
suppressed the Ghibelline nobles, seizing their estates to pay his French
soldiers. In 1270 Charles participated in the disastrous Seventh Crusade.
In 1282 he learned of a revolt in Sicily against the French. Charles tried
to reestablish his authority over the island, but was routed by Pedro III,
king of AragÛn (1239-85), who destroyed his fleet. Charles died soon
after, leaving his kingdom in a chaotic condition.
