Stefan the Soft

He ruled Naples during its apex in 1572, but he is often viewed as a very weak willed ruler. He ruled the Kingdom of Naples from 1571 to 1577 and was heavily influenced by his peers earning him the name Stefan the Soft. Despite his nickname he was a competent ruler and ruled Naples at the peak of its power. His softness eventually got him into trouble when in 1577 he was "tricked into death."
