Frederick (April 19, 1452 – November 9, 1504), sometimes called Frederick IV or Frederick of Aragon,[1] was the last king of Naples from the Neapolitan branch of the House of Trastámara, ruling from 1496 to 1501. He was the second son of Ferdinand I, younger brother of Alfonso II, and uncle of Ferdinand II, his predecessor.
A combination of King Louis XII of France and Frederick's famous cousin[2] King Ferdinand II of Aragon had continued the claim of Louis's predecessor, King Charles VIII of France, to Naples and Sicily. In 1501, they deposed Frederick; Naples initially went to Louis, but by 1504 a falling-out led to Naples' seizure by Ferdinand, after which it remained part of the Spanish possessions until the end of the War of the Spanish Succession.

He was the fourth Frederick to call himself King of Sicily, ruling under the title Federicus Dei gratia rex Siciliae ("Frederick by the grace of God king of Sicily"); the second Frederick to rule peninsular southern Italy after the Emperor Frederick II and thus sometimes called "Frederick II of Naples"; and the first Frederick to actually rule over the so-called Kingdom of Naples.
