 Two Sicilies, Kingdom of, 1848-49   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-03)
Europe's first revolution in 1848 occurred in Sicily, a part of the Bourbon Kingdom of the Two Sicilies, which was notorious for its arbitrary and repressive government and endemic unrest.
Efforts on the part of the government of Ferdinand II (1830-59) to enact economic and agrarian reform had been thwarted by evasion of the law and corruption, and much of the drive for Sicilian autonomy was prompted to avoid outside meddling with the usurpation of the land by a minority.
Francesco Crispi said that "the moderates feared the victory of the people more than that of the Bourbon troops." As leaderless people prepared to defend barricades beneath red flags, Riso announced that his national guard would protect property against the lawless but would not resist the Neapolitan troops.

 Dynastic Traditions
Because the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies was a sovereign state bound only by its own laws, the dynastic statutes and practices of other royal Bourbon dynasties (France, Spain, Parma) are not applicable to the House of the Two Sicilies; nor is Neapolitan dynastic law applicable to the dynastic practices of any other dynasty.
Thus, the Head of the Royal House of the Two Sicilies is the Duke of Castro.
To wit: Before the deposition of King Francesco II (1860), the headhsip of the dynasty and the headship of state were coincidental to the concept of "the Crown".

Nineteenth-century records of nobiliary creations by the Savoy kings indicate a development all but unknown in the other Italian states (the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies, the Grand Duchy of Tuscany, the Duchy of Parma, the Duchy of Modena, and the Papal State), namely the ennoblement of subjects of the Jewish faith.
