I've noticed that es.wikipedia and fr.wikipedia refer to him as a king of Naples. I've checked it, and many English language sources do indeed describe him as king of Naples. Why don't we? Surtsicna (talk) 18:32, 1 December 2013 (UTC)Reply
Do you have any English-language sources that describe this period of Neapolitan history in detail? I've had trouble finding them. I think the reason he's generally described as "Duke of Calabria" is that he was crowned only as a consort, not as King in his own right. Choess (talk) 12:32, 3 December 2013 (UTC)Reply
He was not crowned at all; he was assassinated after the Pope decreed that he should be crowned, but before the coronation went ahead. His claim to the throne rested on his status as "lord and master" of his wife, the heiress, but also on him being her senior according to primogeniture (his grandfather was an older brother of her grandfather).
