Person
Francis II of the Two Sicilies
King of the Two Sicilies
Francis II (Italian: Francesco II, christened Francesco d'Assisi Maria Leopoldo, 16 January 1836 – 27 December 1894), is King of the Two Sicilies from 1859 to 1861.
He is the last King of the Two Sicilies, as successive invasions by Giuseppe Garibaldi and Victor Emmanuel II of Sardinia ultimately bring an end to his rule, and mark the first major event of Italian unification.
After he is deposed, the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies and the Kingdom of Sardinia are merged into the newly formed Kingdom of Italy.
