Charles I. of Anjou had ~tcountered more resistance in conquering Sicily than on the maihland, as the people were more independent and more strongly attached to the house of Hohenstaufen; and, consequently his government was more oppressive and cruel.

Peace was made with the treaty of Caltabellotta in 1302, which left Sicily an independent kingdom under Frederick for that princes lifetime; and although at his death it was to have reverted to the Angevins, he was actually succeeded by his son, and the island retained its independence for a considerable period.

For a long time following Ferdinand III's creation in 1296 of an independent Kingdom of Sicily separate from the mainland territory surrounding Naples, the crown of Sicily descended in a Spanish line while the crown of Naples descended through the hands of their ancient enemies, the descendants of Charles II of Anjou.
Later, Queen Joanna II of Naples--whose four husbands and myriad lovers would scarcely seem to have left her time for governance--solicited Alphonso's aid in fending off a variety of claimants to her throne.
Following Alphonso's death, the reunited territory of Sicily and Naples descended through successive generations as a possession of the Spanish monarch.
