May 1132 CE

Grimoald, Prince of Bari, had joined with Tancred of Conversano, an old ally and renegade, to rise up in revolt in 1131 and capture the port of Brindisi at Christmastime.

It takes until May 1132, after astronomic omens and papal urgings, for Roger to leave comfortable Sicily to go and deal with insurrection in Apulia.

A brief siege convinces the Bariots to give up their prince and Grimoald and his whole family are given over on the city's surrender.

The deposed prince is brought with his family to prison in Sicily and Tancred is only forgiven on condition he leave on Crusade.

Grimoald is replaced by Roger's own son, Tancred.
