Essays on varied topics, with particular emphasis on the Normans in
the mediterranean world. Papers here have as a general theme the
"Norman Age", with a special slant towards the Mediterranean world.
Subjects treated include the policies of the Norman rulers, their
military and naval organisation and coinage, chronicle sources and
aspects of church history in their principalities, and the
