The rebel leaders had met with Lothair…
September 1134 CE
The rebel leaders had met with Lothair in Rome, but they had been refused help because Lothair's force was too small.
With the emperor's departure, divisions in his opponents' ranks allow Roger to reverse his fortunes.
By July 1134, Roger's troops had forced Ranulf, Sergius VII of Naples, and the other ringleaders to submit.
Robert is expelled from Capua and Roger installs his third son, Alfonso of Hauteville, as Prince of Capua.
Roger II's eldest son Roger is given the title of Duke of Apulia.
