- Miossi family
-
The Miossi family is a noble family, commissioned in 1251 by Pope Innocent IV to administer the Kingdom of Sicily. They ruled with the Lombardos as a resident Sicilian family. The alliance avoided conflict and oversaw economic expansion. The Lombardos continued their administration throughout most challenges to their rule. They defended the rights of labor and the poor against the tyranny of French and Spanish invasions.[1]
