This translation of Amatus's L'Ystoire de li Normant identifies the
events of the Norman conquest of southern Italy and Sicily as
recorded in one of the earliest chronicles. Amatus of Montecassino
was the earliest historian of the Norman conquest of southern Italy
and Sicily. His History of the Normans, written c.1080, includes
the sieges of Bari and Salerno, the conquest of Sicily, Robert
Guiscard'sbrigand's life, as well as tales of miracles and
prophecies. It is also a text of great value for study of the
Gregorian Reform and of the abbey of Montecassino, one of the most
important cultural and religious centres of eleventh-century
Christendom. This book provides a vivid translation of this
intriguing contemporary history; while the introduction and
extensive annotation locate the "History" securely in its
contemporary context and provide a full discussion of its purpose
and themes, and of the various problems of authorship and
transmission associated with it.
