 | The Normans in Sicily by John Julius Norwich
When THE NORMANS IN THE SOUTH was first published in 1967, it was acclaimed for its scholarship and narrative skill. Now, it is published together with its sequel, THE KINGDOM IN THE SUN, A sweeping chronicle of the Normans in Sicily....THE NORMANS IN THE SOUTH is the epic story of the House of Hauteville: of Robert Guiscard, perhaps the most extraordinary European adventurer between Caesar and Napoleon; his brother Roger, who helped him win Sicily from the Saracens; and his nephew Roger II, crowned at Palermo in 1130. THE KINGDOM IN THE SUN vividly evokes this sad, superb half forgotten kingdom, cultivated, cosmopolitan, and tolerant, which lasted a mere 64 years. It concludes with the poignant defeat of the bastard King Tancred in 1194, bringing to a close this extraordinary chapter in Italian history. With a comprehensive listing of all of Sicily's surviving Norman monuments, the result is a superb traveler's companion and a masterpiece of the historian's art. AUTHOR: John Julius Norwich
