This volume on Norman Italy (southern Italy and Sicily, c. 1000–1200) honours the pioneering scholarship of Graham A. Loud. An international group of scholars reassesses the paradigm by which Norman Italy has been understood, addressing subjects across four key themes: historiographies, identities and communities, religion and Church, and conquest.
