However, “dynastic” threats hung over the kingdom. In fact Charles was destined to succeed his step-brother Ferdinand VI on the Throne of Spain, since the latter had no male heirs and the great powers with the League of Aranjuez and the Treaty of Vienna had established that his kingdom would go to the Duke of Parma and Piacenza, Philip of Bourbon, and that the two Duchies would go to Austria and Savoy respectively. In reality, to ascend to the Throne of Madrid, Charles risked to loose the kingdom he had conquered for himself.

Franco Valsecchi [VALSECCHI, op. cit.] , pp. 75-79: «Carlos significó para los napolitanos, la restauración del viejo reino luego de años de dominación extranjera (…) Durante los últimos 30 años los gobiernos habían sido extranjeros y este nuevo rey no era un conquistador extranjero.”Gracias a Dios ya no somos provinciales” finalmente dicen los napolitanos, finalmente y esta dinastía hará lo mejor para satisfacer a su pueblo». Y los napolitanos se situarón muy cerca del Rey como demuestran las insurrecciones, el sanféismo, la resistencia armada contra Napoleón a partir del 1799.
