Normans, Duchy of Apulia, Italy, William II, 1111 - 1127 A.D.
|Italy|, |Normans,| |Duchy| |of| |Apulia,| |Italy,| |William| |II,| |1111| |-| |1127| |A.D.|, The Norman County of Apulia was founded by William of Hauteville in 1043. Robert Guiscard established the Duchy of Apulia in 1059. William II was respected by his contemporaries, popular with his barons and subjects, and praised for his martial prowess, but is considered insignificant by modern historians. After the Norman conquest of Sicily in the late 11th century, Apulia became a mere province, first of the Kingdom of Sicily, then of the Kingdom of Naples. From the late 12th to early 13th centuries, Apulia was a favorite residence of the Hohenstaufen emperors, notably Frederick II.
