The Normans: Power, Conquest and Culture in 11th-Century Europe
The Normans conquered England, Sicily and more, and built something distinctive in each place.
Judith A. Green covers the Norman expansion across eleventh-century Europe, from Normandy itself to England, southern Italy and Sicily, where the fusion of Latin, Greek and Arab traditions produced some of the finest buildings of the period. Clear and direct on a subject that resists both.

Judith A. Green, The Normans: Power, Conquest & Culture in 11th-Century Europe. A very clear and to the point book on a complex topic. In Sicily, near Palermo, the Normans produced one of my favorite sites in all of Europe.
