Italo-Normans

Years: 1108 - 1194

The Italo-Normans, or Siculo-Normans when referring to Sicily, are the Italian-born descendants of the first Norman conquerors to travel to southern Italy in the first half of the eleventh century.

While maintaining much of their distinctly Norman piety and customs of war, they are shaped by the diversity of southern Italy, by the cultures and customs of the Greeks, Lombards, and also Arabs in Sicily.
