That's why the Emperor Frederick II Hohenstaufen choose Sicily as his seat of power one hundred years later, the riches and the stability of the region was the envy of Europe, and its multicultural background was perfect to allow the Emperor to craft a treaty with the Fatimids to allow christian pilgrims to visit the Holy Land. Thank you for giving proper justice to the two most famous Hauteville brothers, men of courage and cunning, and two of my most favorite medieval knights.

Swabian king of Sicily, Frederick II called Stupor Mundi (wonder of the world); was a charismatic figure of his time (13th century); man of great culture (he spoke six languages including fluent arabic, fond in art, literature, architecture, anatomy and more; even excellent diplomatic and politician! Check on yt: Frederick II liked a strange, mysteriuos geometry

Know that I'm a fashionable late to this party, but thank you so much for diving into the long Norman presence in southern Italy - the first two Rogers of Sicily and a good chunk of south Italy are probably my favourite European rulers of the Medieval period.

I was able to track my familys Sicilian lineage back to the year 1500 and 1505. I cant seem to find anything before that. Im wondering if they immigrated to Sicily in the early 16th century from elsewhere. Any ideas where I should look?

The Crusades were never truly about religion.
It was about hegemony, and the eternal strife between settlers and nomads during a time of climate change in the east in that period.

Visited Sicily two years ago in a search of Byzantine sights. I was really excited to see this great legacy that the island carries. Ancient, Byzantine, Arab and finally Norman!

Normans always conquering where you least expect. I honestly think the Norman domination of southern Italy is more impressive than the conquest of England.

the tapestry they keep showing it's the Bayer tapestry with William and Harold and England in 1066 so something in 1061 with it makes no sense

So he turned the vast majority of the people to serfs tied to the land, in other words slaves. How is that great I would like to know.

Earth's core is only around 6, 000 kilometers down so did you go through earth into space or did you go in several times?

There was no such religion known as Eastern orthodox in Sicilia of that era. They were Eastern Rite Catholics. Do some research.
