The Kingdom of Sicily is a state that existed in the south of the Italian peninsula and for a time Africa from its founding by Roger II It was a successor state of the County of Sicily, which had been founded in during the Norman conquest of the southern peninsula.

A revolt against Angevin rule, known as the Sicilian Vespers, threw off Charles of Anjou’s rule of the island of Sicily. The Angevins managed to maintain control in the mainland part of the kingdom, which became a separate entity also styled Kingdom of Sicily, although it is commonly referred to as the Kingdom of Naples, after its capital. The island became a separate kingdom under the Crown of Aragon.

The island kingdom was sometimes called the Kingdom of Trinacria. Often the kingship is vested in another monarch such as the King of Aragon,  or the Holy Roman Emperor.
