Alfonso of Naples


 * This article is about the prince of Naples. For other uses see Alfonso.

Prince Alfonso of Naples is the son of King Ferrante of Naples, and the brother of Sancia of Naples.

Information
Alfonso is the son of King Ferrante of Naples. His father was old and senile, leaving himself as the effective ruler of Naples. He is eventually tortured to death by King Charles VIII, who blamed him for the plague that swept Naples, and his body is placed in his father's gruesome "Last Supper" as Judas Iscariot.

Historical notes

 * Alfonso was in fact father to Sancia, not her brother as the series suggests. Her brother was Alfonso of Aragon, second husband to Lucrezia Borgia.
 * Alfonso did not die under torture ordered by King Charles VIII, as the series depicts. He fled Naples and died some months later in a Sicilian monastery in Messina.
