Description and Table of Contents
Description
This omnibus volume is made up of John Julius Norwich's first two works of history published 20 years ago - "The Normans in the South" and "The Kingdom in the Sun". The books tell the story of the dazzling Norman kingdom of Sicily founded in the 11th century by an enterprising band of adventurers from Normandy under Robert Guiscard. The state they founded was outstanding in medieval civilization.
