Philip of Sicily

Philip (born 1255/56, died 1277), of the House of Anjou, was the second son of King Charles I of Sicily and Beatrice of Provence. He was born before his father became king of Sicily in 1266.

In 1267, Charles petitioned Pope Clement IV to appoint Philip king of Sardinia, since the pope claimed suzerainty over the island. The island at the time was divided into four judgeships, and was the site of several rivalries: between the city-states of Genoa and Pisa, between Guelfs and Ghibellines (the pro-papal and pro-imperial factions in Italian politics) and between the royal houses of Aragon and Anjou. The judgeship of Logudoro (or Torres) was under Genoese domination since the death of the last judge, Adelasia, in 1259. Her widower, Enzo, who had been appointed king of all Sardinia by his father, Emperor Frederick II, was in captivity. On 11 August 1269 in Sassari in Logudoro, without papal approval, the Guelf party elected Philip king of Sardinia. The Sards immediately sent an envoy to Rome to persuade the pope to confirm the election. Despite the fact that both Genoa and King Charles had pro-Guelf and pro-papal sympathies, Clement refused to approve Philip. Charles soon had a falling out with his Genoese allies, and Philip's election was not recognised by King James I of Aragon or his son James, who had been put forward as a rival candidate for the Sardinian throne. Philip never visited Sardinia. The island did nevertheless produce silver that ended up in Charles's coffers after 1270, and with which he minted some coin.
