List of viceroys of Naples

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of viceroys of the Kingdom of Naples. Sometimes the King of Naples if he resided outside of the Kingdom and ruled directly from another kingdom, would send a viceroy to fill the post. Some of the most noted viceroys of Naples were especially ruling the period of direct Spanish rule, to this day Pedro Álvarez de Toledo for example is recalled in folklore and even has a road named after him.
