The Kingdom of Sardinia, also called the Kingdom of Sardinia and Corsica, was a kingdom in Southern Europe from the late 13th until the mid-19th century. The papacy granted it as a fief to King James II of Aragon in 1297, and from 1324 he and his successors conquered the island of Sardinia, so that it passed into the Aragonese and then the Spanish crowns. In 1720 the island and its kingdom were ceded to the Duke of Savoy, Victor Amadeus II, and the Savoyard state united it with its mainland possessions in Savoy, Aosta and Piedmont, so that the kingdom came to be identified with the mainland. It ended with the proclamation of the Kingdom of Italy.
