Analyses of different aspects of the history of warfare in the
Mediterranean in the eleventh and twelfth centuries. The kingdom of
Sicily plays a huge part in the history of the Norman people; their
conquest brought in a new era of invasion, interaction and
integration in the Mediterranean, However, much previous
scholarship has tended to concentrate on their activities in
England and the Holy Land. This volume aims to redress the balance
by focusing on the Hautevilles, their successors and their
followers. It considers the operational, tactical, technical and
logistical aspects of the conduct of war in the South throughout
the eleventh and twelfth centuries, looking also at its impact on
Italian and Sicilian multi-cultural society. Topics include the
narratives of the Norman expansion, exchanges and diffusion between
the "military cultures" of the Normans and the peoples they
encountered in the South, and their varied policies of conquest,
consolidation and expansion in the different operational theatres
of land and sea.
