Kingdom of Naples, Ferdinand II of Naples, January 1495 - 7 September 1496
|Italy|, |Kingdom| |of| |Naples,| |Ferdinand| |II| |of| |Naples,| |January| |1495| |-| |7| |September| |1496|, Ferdinand II was the son and successor of Alphonso II, and heir of the Brienne claim to the Kingdom of Jerusalem. About one month into his reign, on 20 February 1495, Charles VIII of France invaded and took Naples, Ferdinand fled with the royal family and an escort of 14 galleys to the castle at Ischia. The commander of the island fortress had made an agreement with the French, and opposed the King's entrance. Ferdinand killed the commander personally and had his body thrown into the sea. Ferdinand later moved to Messina, where he joined his cousin Ferdinand II, king of Sicily and Spain. In the meantime, Pope Alexander VI formed a coalition against Charles, made up of Emperor Maximilian, Venice, Milan and Spain. When the French king was forced to leave Naples with most of his army, Ferdinand returned on 7 July 1496. The citizens, irritated by the terrible conduct of their French conquerors during the occupation, received him back with enthusiasm. He died two months later. Since he actually ruled for only three months, it is not surprising that all of his coin types are rare.
