The Dukes of Naples were the military commanders of the ''ducatus Neapolitanus'', a Byzantine outpost in Italy, one of the few remaining after the conquest of the Lombards. In 661, Emperor Constans II, highly interested in south Italian affairs (he moved his capital to Syracuse), appointed a Neapolitan named Basil ''dux'' or ''magister militum''. Thereafter a line of dukes, often largely independent and dynastic from the mid-ninth century, ruled until the coming of the Normans, a new menace they could not weather. The thirty-ninth and last duke, Sergius VII, surrendered his city to King Roger II of Sicily in 1137. ==Dukes appointed by Byzantium== *661–666 Basil *666–670 Theophylactus I *670–673 Cosmas *673–677 Andrew I *677–684 Caesarius I *684–687 Stephen I *687–696 Bonellus *696–706 Theodosius *706–711 Caesarius II *711–719 John I *719–729 Theodore I *729–739 George *739–755 Gregory I *755–766 Stephen II *767–794 Gregory II *794–801 Theophylactus II *801– Anthimus *–821 Theoctistus *821 Theodore II *821–832 Stephen III *832–834 Bonus *834 Leo *834–840 Andrew II *840 Contardus 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Duke of Naples」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
