About This Novel
This book describes another "Norman Conquest" that took place in Italy during the Middle Ages. In the 11th century, the Normans living in France came to southern Italy by chance. They were originally mercenaries, but gradually became an important political force. They continued to grow in the complex political situation of southern Italy, and finally unified southern Italy and Sicily, and established the Kingdom of Sicily in the 12th century. Centered on the two brothers Robert Guiscard and Roger, this book tells the development of the Normans before the establishment of the Kingdom of Sicily. It clearly shows the interaction between political forces such as the Pope, Germany, Byzantium, Lombards and Arabs and the Normans, and outlines a grand yet detailed historical picture for readers.
