TheHouse of Bourbon-Two Sicilies is a cadet branch of theHouse of Bourbon that ruledSouthern Italy andSicily for more than a century in the 18th and 19th centuries. It descends from theCapetian dynasty in legitimate male line throughPhilip, Duke of Anjou (later Philip V of Spain), a younger grandson ofLouis XIV of France (1638–1715) who established theBourbon dynasty in Spain in 1700 as Philip V (1683–1746). In 1759, King Philip's younger grandson wasappanaged with the kingdoms ofNaples andSicily, becomingFerdinand IV and III (1751–1825), respectively, of those realms. His descendants occupied the joint throne, merged as the "Kingdom of the Two Sicilies" in 1816, until 1861, claimed it thereafter from exile, and constitute the extant Bourbon-Two Sicilies family.
The succession of the House of Bourbon-Two Sicilies has, since 1960, been disputed between the senior Calabrian line, which is currently being represented byPrince Pedro, Duke of Calabria (born 1968) and the junior Castro line, which is currently being represented byPrince Carlo, Duke of Castro (born 1963). Efforts of reconciliation were carried out in 2014, but have been followed by continuing arguing in the family as Prince Carlo, Duke of Castro, abolished the law of male primogeniture to absolute primogeniture in 2016, making his eldest daughter heir by going against the tradition ofmale-line succession within the House of Bourbon-Two Sicilies.[1]
The name "Bourbon-Two Sicilies" (sometimes shortened to "Bourbon-Sicily") combines thepatriline (Bourbon) with their formerterritorial designation (Two Sicilies).
The name of the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies came from the unification of theKingdom of Sicily with theKingdom of Naples (called the kingdom of peninsular Sicily), by KingAlfonso V of Aragon in 1442. The two had been separated since theSicilian Vespers of 1282. At the death of King Alfonso in 1458, the kingdoms became divided between his brotherJohn II of Aragon, who kept Sicily, and his bastard sonFerdinand, who became King of Naples. The crowns of Naples and Sicily remained functionally separate, albeit often ruled by the same monarch, until their formal union in 1816.

When Prince Ferdinand Pius died in 1960, he left no male descendant, and two branches of the family claimed the right to succeed him as head of the house. Ferdinand Pius had seven younger brothers. At the time of Ferdinand Pius's death in 1960, the oldest brother,Carlos (1870–1949) was deceased, but had left descendants. The next surviving brother wasRanieri (1883–1973). By the rule of primogeniture, headship would normally pass through Carlos to his sonAlfonso. Ranieri contested Alfonso's claim arguing that Carlos had renounced any claim to the Two Sicilies succession on the part of himself and his heirs when he executed the Act of Cannes in 1900 in anticipation of his marriage the next year toMercedes, Princess of Asturias, heiress presumptive to the Spanish throne. Alfonso offered a different interpretation of the Act of Cannes, describing it as effective only if Carlos should succeed to the Spanish throne. He also took the position that the Act of Cannes was invalid under the succession rules of the house of Two Sicilies itself, since these laws provided only one, specific reason for a renunciation and that was in the event of the Spanish and Two Sicilies crowns being united in one person - which has not happened since 1759. Despite an investigation by five of the highest institutions of the Spanish state having concluded unanimously that the legitimate claimant was the lateInfante Carlos, Duke of Calabria, the junior line continues to perpetuate its claim.[2]

On 25 January 2014, representatives of the two rival branches,Prince Carlo (Castro line) andPrince Pedro, then Duke of Noto (Calabria line), jointly signed a pledge of partial reconciliation.[3] The document recognised both branches as members of the same house, committed both to pursue further reconciliation and concord, meanwhile recognising the titles then claimed by each branch.[4]
At the Holy Mass in Saint Peter's Basilica celebrated in Rome on 14 May 2016, during a Pilgrimage by members of the Constantinian Order awarded by Prince Carlo to Rome and Vatican City, Prince Carlo made public his decision to change the rules of succession. He claimed that this change was so the rules of succession would be (as he claimed) compatible with international and European law, prohibiting any discrimination between men and women. The rule ofabsolute primogeniture would henceforth apply to his direct descendants, his elder daughter being named by him as heiress apparent.[5] Prince Pedro publicly objected that Prince Carlo's declaration violated the terms of their reconciliation agreement, to which Carlo replied that further "destabilisation" could lead to termination of the 2014 pact.[6]

Children and male-line grandchildren of the King of the Two Sicilies bore the titlePrince(ss) Royal of the Two Sicilies with the style ofRoyal Highness. Otheragnatic descendants of the King, born of authorized marriages, bore the titlePrince(ss) of the Two Sicilies with the style of Royal Highness.
Since 1861, and similarly to members of the House of Bourbon-Parma, the stylePrince(ss) of Bourbon-Two Sicilies has been used for and by members of this family to highlight their membership in the House of Bourbon. The title of princess is also borne by the wives of the princes of the house provided the marriage isdynastically approved.
