 Ferdinand I of the Two Sicilies - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Ferdinand was styled both Ferdinand III of Sicily (October 6, 1759 - December 8, 1816) and Ferdinand IV of Naples (October 6, 1759 - January 23, 1799; June 13, 1799 - March 30, 1806; May 3, 1815 - December 8, 1816).
The king indeed practically abdicated his power, appointing his son Francis regent, and the queen, at Bentinck's instance, was exiled to Austria, where she died in 1814.
Ferdinand was now completely subservient to Austria, an Austrian, Count Nugent, being even made commander-in-chief of the army; and for four years he reigned as a despot, every tentative effort at the expression of liberal opinion being ruthlessly suppressed.

A renunciation was drawn up for his signature should his wife succeed to the Spanish throne (and this is conserved, unsigned, in the family archives), but he committed suicide in 1871 and she never succeeded in any case.
The wholly invented claims concerning the scope of the famous Pragmatic Decree of 1759, drawn up by King Charles VII of Naples, III of Spain, to regulate the succession to the Crown of the Two Sicilies, are easily disproved.
His third son, Ferdinand, was established immediately as King of the Two Sicilies, although he did not cede to him the Grand Magistery of the Order of Saint Januarius which he retained until 1766, and still maintained his interest in the administration of the Constantinian Order.
