Count Marco de Vassallo of Malta and Gozo

The County of Malta was a Feudal Lordship of the Kingdom of Sicily, relating to the islands of Malta and Gozo. Malta was essentially a fief within the kingdom, with the title given by Tancred of Sicily the last Norman king of Sicily to Margaritus of Brindisi in 1190 who earned acclaim as the Grand Admiral of Sicily. It was during this time that the Maltese nobility developed. After the descendents of Margaritus' ran out, the title was given by an Aragonese king of Sicily, Frederick III of Sicily to his son William; the fief title was officially merged back into the crown of Sicily in 1350.
