Synopsis "Los Normandos en Sicilia (in Spanish)"

Los Normandos en Sicilia, la invasión del Sur es la primera parte de un ambicioso proyecto que llevó a Lord Norwich a escribir, en sus propias palabras, el libro que a mí me habría gustado leer en mi primera visita a Sicilia. La historia se inicia en el año 1016, con una partida de peregrinos normandos en monte Gargano y termina el día de Navidad de 1130, cuando Roger II es coronado rey de Sicilia. Por sus páginas se pasean Papas desde Urbano II a Inocencio II antipapas como Gregorio o Anacleto y Emperadores tanto de Oriente como de Occidente. Pero los verdaderos protagonistas son los gobernantes normandos de la Casa Hauteville junto a sus vasallos más díscolos.

John Julius Norwich (1929-2018) studied at New College, Oxford, and in 1952, joined the Foreign Office, where he was posted to the British embassies in Belgrade and Beirut. He participated in the British delegation at the Geneva Disarmament Conference. In 1964, he left his diplomatic career to focus on writing. He authored more than twenty books on the history of Europe and the Mediterranean, and his trilogy on the Byzantine Empire is one of the reference texts for that historical period. Lord Norwich was a member of the Royal Society of Literature, the Royal Geographical Society, and the Society of Antiquaries and, in 1993, was appointed Commander of the Royal Victorian Order and belonged to the Executive Committee of the National Trust.
