Sergius I of Naples Sergius I ( died 864 ) was the first duke of Naples of his dynasty , often dubbed the " Sergi , " which ruled over Naples for almost three centuries from his accession in 840 until the death of his namesake Sergius VII in 1137 . Sergius was originally the " dux " of Cumae , a Neapolitan dependency . In 840 , with the Franks trying to take the city , the people elected Sergius as duke ( or " magister militum " ) of Naples . This was a move towards complete independence from the Byzantine Empire , which was incapable of defending the " Ducatus Neapolitanus " from the Lombards . Sergius continued the beneficial alliance the Neapolitans had made with the Saracens of Palermo earlier . He aided them in taking Bari from the Byzantines in 841 and Messina in 842 . By turning away from the Byzantines and towards the papacy and the Franks , he opened the way for the expulsion of the Moslems from the Campania . The Saracens soon became too dangerous to keep as friends and Naples was forced to ally with Amalfi , Gaeta , and Sorrento , its practically independent underlings , and make war on the Moslems . The Christians forced them out of Ponza and defended Rome in 846 , though the Vatican was sacked . In 849 , Sergius led his fleet alongside that of Gaeta and the Vatican in the successful Battle of Ostia . Sergius allied himself , furthermore , with the Emperors Lothair I and Louis II . In 847 , Sergius was charged , along with Guy I of Spoleto , with establishing peace between the Lombard princes Siconulf of Salerno and Radelchis I of Benevento . In 850 , Sergius attempted ( successfully ) to make the duchy hereditary when he appointed his eldest son , Gregory , as co - duke . He began to mint his own coins with his own effigy on them . In 859 , Sergius made war with Capua . He married his daughter to Landulf , gastald of Suessola , son of Lando I of Capua . With the gastald , he sent his sons Gregory and Caesar to sack New Capua . They failed . Sergius ' other sons , Athanasius and Stephen , also played an important role in Neapolitan politics . The former became bishop of Naples , an imperial " familiaris " , and a papal legate and intimate of the Roman " curia " . Stephen held the bishopric of Sorrento . Before dying , Sergius bade Gregory to follow the counsel of his brother the bishop . Gregory did succeed on Sergius ' death and the hereditary , independent dukedom was born .

8 cm Feldkanone M . 99 The 8 cm Feldkanone M . 99 was a field gun used by Austria - Hungary in World War I . It was designed in a rush because Austria ' s neighbors had already begun the process of modernizing their artillery . The designers whatever improvements they could be made without delaying development . For example various hydraulic recoil systems were evaluated , but ultimately rejected as they required more development time than was available . So the M . 99 retained the bronze barrel of its predecessor , but used an eccentric interrupted - screw breech to speed up its rate of fire , and adopted the carriage of the 9 cm Feldkanone M 75 / 96 with some minor changes , including improvements to the spade brake to reduce recoil forces .
