OFFICIAL ORDER

The law of separation of the Crowns of Spain and Two Sicilies

Before King Carlo departed Naples to ascend the Spanish Throne, he abdicated the Crowns of Naples and Sicily in favour of his third-born son, Prince Ferdinando. Shortly beforehand, King Carlo issued a Pragmatic (left) declaring that henceforth any prince entitled to a place in the Spanish succession could not simultaneously lay claim the Crown of the Two Sicilies, or a place in the succession to that Crown.

This law served to forever separate the dynasty of the Two Sicilies from that of Spain.
