The Normans in Italy: From Pilgrims to Conquerors

<p>Say Norman Conquests; think 1066 and William the Conqueror. But the massive success of the English conquest often overshadows the several other conquests across Europe which the Normans executed very successfully.&nbsp;</p><br><p>Dr. Eleanor Janega is joined by Dr. Levi Roach to consider how the Normans fared in 11th century Italy, how the papacy forced a rethink of war strategy and how stories of religious conflict are often used to gain territory and power.&nbsp;</p><br><p><em>Gone Medieval </em>is presented by Dr. Eleanor Janega and edited by Ella Blaxill. The producers are Joseph Knight and Rob Weinberg. The senior producer is Anne-Marie Luff.</p><br><p><em>Gone Medieval is a History Hit podcast.</em></p><br><p><strong>Don’t miss Dr. Eleanor Janega’s forthcoming series on the Normans on the History Hit TV channel.
