@Lord ballsac the 2nd That's a great question! @HistoryTime any ideas?
@HistoryTime 3 роки тому
@Lord ballsac the 2nd Not as far as I'm aware. Whilst no doubt scores of unnamed knights fought in both theatres, the leaders in Italy tended to be individuals who had somewhat burned their bridges back in Normandy. Plenty of exiles sent away for murder, etc. Which explains why they were so determined to seize new lands, and also why by and large they didn't look back. Though of course there are exceptions. The Tosny family for example fought in Spain before returning to Normandy and eventually fighting with William at Hastings. I can't think of any major lords who returned from Italy to fight with the Duke at Hastings- The big names tended to be at odds with the Duke and any other lord who might be considered above them. Any big names who did return from Italy tended to be pre-occupied with retaining their lands against Norman neighbours
@ConstantineJoseph 3 роки тому
It's quite remarkable of how resilient the Normans were. Just numbering a few hundred mounted knights and dismounted armored knights, they were able to slowly carve out Sicily for themselves over a lengthy period of time, fighting against some numerous odds stacked against them.

Arabs did not built anything in Sicily during their short passage (only 162 years compared to 800 years of occupation of Iberian peninsula), they have introduced some plant species, and irrigation systems with lakes and gardens, but there is nothing left of all this in Sicily, instead we have in Sicily still nowadays Byzantine churches and Norman castles.

That's why the Emperor Frederick II Hohenstaufen choose Sicily as his seat of power one hundred years later, the riches and the stability of the region was the envy of Europe, and its multicultural background was perfect to allow the Emperor to craft a treaty with the Fatimids to allow christian pilgrims to visit the Holy Land.

The first Norman king of Sicily, Robert Guiscard, was a cousin of William the Conqueror, the first Norman king of England. However, by the time of the Norman Conquest of England in 1066, Robert Guiscard was still only a minor count in Normandy. He did not become Duke of Apulia and Calabria until 1071, and he did not conquer Sicily until 1072. Despite their distant blood relationship, the Norman Kingdoms of Sicily and England did have some special bonds with each other. They were both ruled by Norman dynasties, and they both shared a common culture and language. They also had a common interest in maintaining control of the Mediterranean Sea. There were several intermarriages between the Norman royal families of Sicily and England. For example, in 1176, King William II of Sicily married Joan, the daughter of King Henry II of England. This marriage helped to strengthen the ties between the two kingdoms. The Norman Kingdoms of Sicily and England also cooperated on military and diplomatic matters. For example, in 1173, King William II of Sicily sent a fleet to help King Henry II of England put down a rebellion in Ireland. In conclusion, the Norman Kingdoms of Sicily and England were related by blood, and they had some special bonds with each other

Thanks HISTORY TIME for this fabulous documentary, which has certainly enriched my knowledge of Medieval History. Indeed, although I consider myserlf relatively well-educated in European History, I must confess that I had never heard of the significant influence of the Normans in Southern Italy (Sicily). Likewise, I am embarrassed for having never heard of Roger, the Count of Sicily, whom was clearly not only a major Medieval combatant, but particularly an unparalleled administrator, let alone his unequal religious tolerance during an era of whidespread bigotry and injustice. Finally, what made Roger's life even more impressive was his ability / luck to have maried an aristocratic lady (from a much higher strata) for love! Quite frankly I cannot identify any other historical romantic episode, prior to the 19th century wedding of Queen Victoria of Great Britain and Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha.//// Muito obrigado HISTORY TIME por este fantastico documentário, que certamente enriqueceu meu conhecimento de História Medieval. De fato, apesar de considerar-me relativamente bem instruído na História da Europa, devo confessar que nunca tinha ouvido falar da influência significativa dos normandos no sul da Itália (Sicília). Igualmente, sinto-me envergonhado por nunca ter ouvido falar de Roger, o conde da Sicília, o qual claramente não fora apenas um grande combatente medieval, mas particularmente também um administrador incomparável, sem falar na sua tolerância religiosa desigual durante uma era de fanatismo e injustiça generalizada. Finalmente, o que tornou a vida de Roger ainda mais impressionante fora sua capacidade / sorte de ter se casado com uma dama aristocrática (de um nível muito mais alto) por amor! Francamente, não consigo identificar nenhum outro episódio romântico histórico, antes do casamento do século XIX da rainha Vitória da Grã-Bretanha com o príncipe Albert de Saxe-Coburg e Gotha.

The rise of Fatemids Caliphate in North Africa weakened Arabs of Sicily ..two punitive expeditions from Fatemids reached the independant Sicily and the war between two sides ( mix of civil war and Religious schism ) made the survivors prefering Norman rule to the Fatimids usurpators...in counterpart Fatimids prefred to leave the rebelious Arabs of Sicily alone without any help because they were not Shia but Sunna and beacause they used the Aghlabid fleet to conquer Egypt where most of ships sunk due to their lack of experience because the best sailors and sea fighter were persecuted or dismissed..so Normans found everything ready..like few arabs found things ready in spain in 711....So you can understand why many of familly names in Sicily are Arabic names like Bucetta and Moravido...
