March 03, 2024 05:01 - 53 minutes - 48.5 MBThe Siege of Bari begins and ends in this episode, but it’s not a simple, open-and-shut story.

115: The Battle of Cerami
February 11, 2024 05:01 - 33 minutes - 30.5 MBThis is one of those episodes that creates a benchmark for all the military leaders to come after it. And Roger sets a high benchmark in what amounts to the Thermopylae of the Norman Conquest of Sicily.

January 28, 2024 22:22 - 35 minutes - 32.1 MBIt’s all about moving forward when it comes to conquests and life, so that’s what both Robert and Roger do. They move further and further along one of the more important valleys on the mountainous island, a valley that would serve as the Normans’ first proving ground in the larger land-based conquest of Sicily. Roger, needless to say, would learn quite a bit on this foray as he watched his older brother Robert Guiscard do what Robert Guiscard does best. Members-Only Series on Patreon: For ...
