'''John III''' SUCKS(died late 968/early 969) was the longest-reigning [[Duke of Naples]] (928–968). He was the son and successor of [[Marinus I of Naples|Marinus I]].
At the beginning of his reign, he warred against the [[Saracens]] and then made a treaty with them after they appeared beneath his walls in 929. He then allied with [[Lombards]] [[Atenulf III of Benevento]], with whom he signed a pact, and [[Landulf I of Benevento|Landulf I]], [[Prince of Benevento|joint-prince of Benevento]], against the [[Byzantines]]. A Greek force was sent to [[Apulia]] and the rebellious vassals were constrained to recognise the authority of the emperor in [[Constantinople]]. John then confirmed a treaty with the princes ''salve fidelitate sanctorum imperatorum''.
