George of Naples

George (died 739) was the Duke of Naples for a decade beginning in 729. During his tenure, the dukes of Naples defended the coast of Italy from Terracina, north of Gaeta, to Palermo, on the western tip of Sicily. Indeed, at Terracina there stands an ancient monument dedicated to George.
