III (IV) Norman period Amalfi was conquered by Robert Guiscard, duke of Apulia. Nevertheless, Amalfi rebelled twice, once electing the former prince of Salerno, Gisulf, and once electing a Neapolitan of that ducal family. 1088–1089 Gisulf, also Prince of Salerno (1052–1078) 1096–1100 Marinus Sebastus A certain Manso ruled Amalfi—minting his own currency—under the title of vicedux (Vice-duke) sometime between 1077 and 1096, most probably during the reign of Robert's son Roger Borsa. Manso recognised Norman overlordship and was most probably a Norman appointee. Neapolitan dukedom (1388–1673) The title of Duke of Amalfi (Duca di Amalfi in Italian) was revived under the Kingdom of Naples in the late 14th century, passing to the Piccolomini family in 1461. 1398–1405 Venceslao Sanseverino, also Count of Tricario and Chiaromonte, and Duke of Venosa 1405–1438 Giordano Colonna 1438–1459 Raimondo II del Balzo Orsini, also Prince of Salerno (died 1459) 1461–1493 Antonio Todeschini Piccolomini 1493–1498 Alfonso I Piccolomini, whose wife Giovanna is the title character in The Duchess of Malfi 1499–1559 Alfonso II Piccolomini 1559–1575 Cesare I Gonzaga 1584–1630 Ferrante II Gonzaga 1642–1656 Ottavio Piccolomini, created by Philip IV 1656–1673 Enea Silvio Piccolomini Spanish dukedom (1902–present) The title was revived as Duque de Amalfi by Alfonso XIII of Spain in 1902. 1902–1912 Fulgencio Fuster y Fontes 1912–1945 Antonio de Zayas y Beaumont 1945–1959 Luis Moreno y Zayas 1959–1996 María del Carmen Cotoner y Cotoner 1996–2004 Íñigo Seoane y Cotoner 2004–present Íñigo Seoane García As with other Spanish noble titles, the dukedom of Amalfi initially descended according to cognatic primogeniture, meaning that females could inherit the title if they had no brothers (or if their brothers had no issue). That changed in 2006, since when the eldest child (regardless of gender) can automatically succeed to noble family titles. See also The Duchess of Malfi References Sources Chalandon, Ferdinand.
