The Age of Robert Guiscard - Southern Italy and the Northern Conquest (Paperback)

Wide ranging and engaging account of the conquest of southern Italy and Sicily by the Norman's during the eleventh century and of Robert 'Guiscard'.

While examining the process by which the conquest took place, Guiscard's role within it, and his turbulent role in the south, Graham Louds places the Norman takeover in context. The Age of Robert Guiscard examines both the historical evolution of southern Italy before the Normans, which made the conquest possible, and the hybrid society that conquest created. The relations of the Normans with their nominal overlord the papace and Guiscard's attempt to conquer the Byzantine Empire, are also discussed in depth.
