The image has a small mistake. The king of spain did not buy the title. Andreas gifted the title of sucessor to the Crown of Spain, after failing to sell it to anyone on Italy. Spain still owns the letter but has never officially claimed the title, so technically still in hands of the Crown of Spain and not the family that ended up dying. the current Borbon family still owns the title (technically, I guess).
Though through weird buying shenanigans they do have the title of Kings of Jerusalem, they conquered Naples after they had bought the title to the last heir of the kingdom.
Honestly kingdom titles being bought all over medieval europe is kinda hilarious. After centuries of bragging it was god given, you end up with a dude waving a paper saying you can be king by buying it off him.
Like the original selling people a star that is now popular online, a proto nft having the receipt of a kingdom
