	Sergius IV of Naples - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Naples
		Naples was founded by Greeks from Cumæ, and Cumæ, according to Mommsen, is the Palæopolis to which Livy refers as existing not far from Naples and as being allied with the latter city against the Samnites.
		Naples, also, was obliged to receive the Samnites within its walls and to give to them participation in the government of the city, which explains her ambiguous conduct towards Rome during the Samnite War (325 B. In its alliance with Rome, Naples furnished only ships.
		The consul Sergius drove the Saracens from the island of Ponza, while his son Cæsarius, in 846, went to the assistance of Leo IV against the same foe, and in 852, freed Gaeta; but to save their commerce, the Neapolitans thereafter allied themselves with the Mohammedans.

	Auxilius of Naples
		Stephen was strangled in prison in the summer of 897, and the six following popes (to May, 1904) owed their elevation to the struggles of the political parties.
		Sergius had been a partisan of Stephen VI, and like the latter regarded the elevation of Formosus to the papacy as illegal and the orders conferred by him as null and void.
		Auxilius was a follower of Formosus, and in several works composed about 908-911, he made a courageous and learned defence, both of Formosus and of the validity of his orders and those of his adherents.

		In September 1129 Roger was generally recognized as duke by Sergius VII of Naples, Robert of Capua, and the rest.
		Most of the rebels took refuge in Naples, which was besieged in July: despite the poor health conditions within the city, Roger was not able to take it, and returned to Messina late in the year.

	Naples (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
		Naples was by mediaeval standards a very large city and a notable exception to the urban landscape of the Mezzogiorno.
		Inside the present-day city, mediaeval Naples corresponds to the old quarters under the castle built after the Norman period by the Angevin kings.
		In this respect, the situation in Naples was like nowhere else in the Mezzogiorno and, without attaining the same degree of autonomy, bears similarities with the modes of organization of the urban republics of northern Italy.

		The son of Guiscard trod in the footsteps of his father; and the two destroyers are compared, by the Greeks, to the caterpillar and the locust, the last of whom devours whatever has escaped the teeth of the former.

		Their frequent and almost annual squadrons issued from the port of Palermo, and were entertained with too much indulgence by the Christians of Naples: the more formidable fleets were prepared on the African coast; and even the Arabs of Andalusia were sometimes tempted to assist or oppose the Moslems of an adverse sect.
		Beyond that line, the dukes or republics of Amalfi [5] and Naples, who had never forfeited their voluntary allegiance, rejoiced in the neighborhood of their lawful sovereign; and Amalfi was enriched by supplying Europe with the produce and manufactures of Asia.
		The establishment of the Normans in the kingdoms of Naples and Sicily [15] is an event most romantic in its origin, and in its consequences most important both to Italy and the Eastern empire.
