Philip of Sicily

Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Philip (1255/56 – 1277), of the

King of Sardinia, Prince of Achaea or King of Thessalonica
, but ultimately ascended no throne.

Sardinia

In 1267, Charles petitioned

Guelfs and Ghibellines (the pro-papal and pro-imperial factions in Italian politics, respectively) and between the royal houses of Aragon and Anjou. The judgeship of Logudoro (or Torres) was under Genoese domination since the death of the last judge, Adelasia, in 1259. Her widower, Enzo, who had been appointed king of all Sardinia by his father, Emperor Frederick II, was in captivity. On 11 August 1269[1] in Sassari in Logudoro, without papal approval, the Guelf party elected Philip king of Sardinia. The Sards immediately sent an envoy to Rome to persuade the pope to confirm the election. Despite the fact that both Genoa and King Charles had pro-Guelf and pro-papal sympathies, Clement refused to approve Philip.[2] Charles soon had a falling out with his Genoese allies,[3] and Philip's election was not recognised by King James I of Aragon or his son James, who had been put forward as a rival candidate for the Sardinian throne. Philip never visited Sardinia.[4] The island did nevertheless produce silver that ended up in Charles's coffers after 1270, and with which he minted some coin.[5]

Latin East

Pursuant to the

William II of Achaea.[6] According to the treaty, Philip became William's heir in the event that the prince had no son, but should Philip die without issue, the inheritance would revert to Charles or Charles's heir. In June 1270, Charles's representatives exchanged oaths and ratifications with William regarding the marriage. The wedding took place "with great splendour" at Trani in Charles's kingdom on 28 May 1271. Isabel, who was only twelve years old, went to live with the Sicilian royal family at Castel dell'Ovo.[7][8] In 1272, Philip and his older brother, the future Charles II, were knighted by their father.[9]

In 1274, the

Innocent V, listed him among those who had taken up the cross in a letter to the Byzantine court.[10]

Death

According to the chronicler

cathedral of Trani.[9]
