Norman Conquest of Southern Italy
Shelf by nono umasy
The Norman Conquest of Southern Italy, which took place in the 11th and 12th centuries, marked a pivotal moment in Mediterranean history. Led by the ambitious Normans, a group of Norse warriors who had settled in Northern France, this conquest saw the establishment of the Kingdom of Sicily under Roger II. This period witnessed a fusion of Norman, Byzantine, and Arab cultures, resulting in a rich and diverse society. The conquest not only reshaped the political landscape of Southern Italy but also left a lasting impact on its culture, architecture, and governance, making it a fascinating chapter in the history of the Mediterranean region.
