Stephen II of Naples

Stephen II (died 799) is the duke of Naples during an important transitionary period in its history, from 755 to his death.

He is styled as eminentissimus consul and is the leader of the local aristocracy when he is appointed by the patrician of Sicily.

By the end of his reign, through a rupture with the Byzantine Empire, Naples is practically independent.

After his abdication, Naples experiences a period of crisis until the election of Sergius I in 840.
