Robert Guiscard has meanwhile continued to expand the small county left by Humphrey into a duchy, extending from the Adriatic to the Tyrrhenian sea.

The capture of Bari, the last remaining imperial stronghold, in April 1071 after a three-year siege results, in the end of Constantinople’s rule in southern Italy, together with the hope of an imperial reconquest of Sicily.
