What happened at the Sicilian Vespers
The Sicilian Vespers began on Easter Monday, 30 March 1282, when residents of Palermo revolted against the French Angevin administration established after Charles of Anjou conquered the Kingdom of Sicily in 1266. Resentment over heavy taxation, administrative abuses, and foreign domination sparked violence that spread across the island, resulting in the deaths of many French officials and soldiers. The uprising led Sicilians to seek support from Peter III of Aragon, whose intervention triggered the War of the Sicilian Vespers, a prolonged conflict between Aragonese and Angevin forces. The episode reshaped Mediterranean politics, ending direct French control of Sicily and establishing Aragonese influence that persisted for centuries.
