===Modern era=== During the rule of [[Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor|Charles V]], Emperor of Spain, the island was granted to the D'Avalos family. Pirate raids continued during this period. Particularly notable was one in 1534, led by the infamous [[Turkey|Turk]] admiral [[Hayreddin Barbarossa]]. In 1744, King [[Charles III of Spain|Charles III]] of Spain made Procida a royal [[game reserve]]. In this period the Procidan fleet reached its zenith, backed by a period of flourishing shipbuilding. The population rose to approximately 16,000. In 1799, Procida took part in the revolts that led to the proclamation of the [[Neapolitan Republic (1799)|Neapolitan Republic]]. With the return of the Bourbon [[dynasty]] a few months later 12 Procidans were beheaded. The [[Napoleonic Wars]] brought several episodes of devastation due to the island's strategic position in the naval engagements between the French and the [[England|English]]. In 1860, after the fall of the [[Kingdom of the Two Sicilies]], the island became part of the newly formed [[Unification of Italy|Kingdom of Italy]].
