Naples was ruled by Louis XII of France (1462-1515) from 1501-04 and by the Kings of Spain from 1504 to 1700 (except for a brief republican interlude 1647-48). It was contested by Felipe V of Spain and Holy Roman Emperor Karl VI (1685-1740) during the War of the Spanish Succession (1700-14). Karl received the Neapolitan crown in 1714, but lost it to Felipe's son Carlos (later Carlos III of Spain) in 1734, whereupon Naples gained its first resident king since 1501.
