from
Wikipedia
After a short period of Genoese rule ( 1205 – 1220 ), which favoured a rise of trades, Syracuse was conquered back by emperor Frederick II.
In the struggle between the Anjou and Catalan-Aragonese monarchies, Syracuse sided with the Catalan-Aragonese and defeated the Anjou in 1298, receiving from the Spanish sovereigns great privileges in reward.
The pre-eminence of baronal families is also shown by the construction of the palaces of Abela, Chiaramonte, Nava, Montalto.
