The coat-of-arms is that of King Francesco I of the Two-Sicilies (Naples, 1777 - Naples, 1830). He governs the kingdom from 1812 till his father takes the throne back in 1816. He became king again in 1825. He married first Maria Clementina, Archduchess of Austria (1777-1801), daughter of Emperor Leopold II, then Isabel de Borbón y Borbón, daughter of King Carlos IV of Spain. He became in 1798 the father of Princess Maria Carolina of the Two-Sicilies who married the Duke de Berry, son of King Charles IX of France.
