September 1098 CE

Roger's consort Adelaide brings settlers from the valley of the Po River to colonize eastern Sicily.

Roger as a secular ruler seems a reliable ally, since he is merely a vassal of his kinsman the Count of Apulia, himself a vassal of Rome, so it seems safe at the time for Urban to give him these extraordinary powers, which are later to lead to bitter confrontations with Roger I's Hohenstaufen heirs.
