The ancient title of Bibino Magno, in the north of Catena in Sicily was created to the powerful family of d'Alagona family, whom had owned many titles, feudal properties in Sicily and Southern Italy.

Though as the Barony was inherited by the Abela family, then into the Sayd family. Though upon the marriage of Eleanora Abela, the Viceroyal had announced them as Prince and Princess di Bibino Magno. This the title was formed into a title of Prince.
