History edit

The Sanseverino family originates from the Norman knight Turgisio of Arnes, an alleged descendant of the House of Normandy, who was invested with the county of Rota by Robert Guiscard in 1061. The name Sanseverino originates from the castle in Mercato San Severino which Turgisio adopted as his surname.

The family owned 300 fiefs, 40 counties, nine marquisates, twelve duchies and ten principalities, primarily located in Calabria, Campania, Basilicata, and Apulia.[1] From this family emerged cardinals, viceroys, marshals and condottieri.[2]
