The Kings and Generals animated historical documentary series on medieval history continues with a video on the Norman Kingdom in Italy, as we learn how the Normans of the house of Hauteville create a unique state in south Italy, by fighting the Roman Pope, Lombards, Eastern Roman Empire, Holy Roman Empire, Arabs, Germans and more. We will cover their initial conquests and battles like Civitate, Cerami, Dyrrhachium, Larissa, Rome and much more and talk about the emergence of the kingdom of Sicily with the coronation of Roger II of the house of Hauteville, his struggle against the Papacy and the Holy Roman Empire. This video will also cover the multicultural aspect of the Norman kingdom, as local Greeks, Latins, Arabs and others managed to create a vibrant society on the crossroads of the Mediterranean Sea, the conquest of North Africa by the Normans and the end of their rule.

Alexios is f**** up
I feel like Turks coming to Anatolia has some parallels with Normans coming to Italian Penninsula. It is interesting both are going on around same time.
love it
Poisonous turantulas?….nah im out.😅
Imagine Normans serving the pope, the German Emperor, and the Greek Emperor, and an independent all walk into the bar, the only one walking out of the bar? All the Normans of course, the bar was set on fire!
The accord with the pope, literally laughing out loud. He was allowed to keep the land taken from the pope, provided he admitted to feel really bad about it and give it back, someday, maybe. Great writing guys. 39:07
Wtf happened always with Carpathian Basin and border of Hungary? WTF, tha half of Halicz territory was inside in Carpathia? Or WTF?
The adventurous men of the north, may have slipped from existence without leaving much of their history written down themselves…
But it is to be found all over the world in their legacy and the consequences of their acts.
Sicily was Muslim controlled for over 150 years, but was brought back to Christianity by the Norman conquest.
the Varangian Guard of the Byzantine Empire, Normandy, the Danelaw…
Heck it was Vikings who started what is today the Russian empire by conquering Kyiv and expanding from there.
Without writing anything down, they managed to carve their legacy into the planet itself.
I love it how the originally Scandinavian Norsemen added to the multy-layered heritage of Italy kicking Byzantine ass in the process.
listening to these helps understand the vanity of conquest & violence, imho. world peace is underrated
are the soldier animations from the total war series?
What a great epic history of the Normans. A Netflix series would be fantastic
Thanks you
AS ALWAYS! Fantastic job K&G guys.
1:19:00
Nice, big up!
Everyone gangsta until the venomous tarantulas show up.
a
Roger:* fighting for his life in Sicily *
Robert:” let’s go kill some peasants in Apulia”
Excellent work
Thank you for your work!
The reckless cavalry charge into an enemy ambush at 1:04:00 settles once for all the debate over whether Normans were French or Vikings.
The shifting back and forth in the group dynamics with Kai in the mix is a lot of fun
Fascinating story and journey, wish they would make a tv series on Norman conquest of south Italy and Sicily
Well spent 2 hrs….loved it!!
aLexios
the fact that immediately after being married roger became insanely greedy tells alot
Great Video
This is awesome. The Normans were badass conquerors, from England to Sicily.
Why didn’t Bohemond assume the dukedom of Robert?
Robert Guiscard is the true Total War player while everyone else was playing CK2
Been looking for content related to Norman Sicily for a short while now. Reading documents regarding the matter was confusing, this has assisted me in better understanding a neglected area of history well deserved of some more light.
Thank You
I use to do medieval recreation & our group focused on 1195 ad in the City of Acre in the Holy Lands. The Norman's were the premium military power for around 200yrs. Italy was described as "Meat b4 ravening Lions". I'm so happy to be watching this.
👍
Cool
Bloody fantastic. Thank you so much.
