English: The Kingdom of Naples was an informal name of the polity officially known as the Kingdom of Sicily which existed on the mainland of southern Italy after of the secession of the island of Sicily from the old Kingdom of Sicily after the Sicilian Vespers rebellion of 1282. King Charles I of Sicily (Charles of Anjou) was forced to leave the island of Sicily by Peter III of Aragon's troops. Charles, however, maintained his possessions on the mainland, customarily known as the "Kingdom of Naples," after its capital city. Charles and his Angevin successors maintained a claim to Sicily, warring against the Aragonese until in 1373, Queen Joan I of Naples formally renounced the claim.
