By Henry Gally Knight

Book Overview

The Normans in Sicily is a historical book written by Henry Gally Knight in 1838. It is a sequel to his previous book, An Architectural Tour in Normandy. The book explores the history of the Normans in Sicily, particularly during the 11th and 12th centuries when they conquered the island and established their own kingdom. Knight delves into the cultural and architectural influences of the Normans in Sicily, including their unique blend of Norman, Byzantine, and Islamic styles. He also examines the political and social impact of the Norman conquest on the island, including the establishment of a feudal system and the integration of different religious and ethnic groups. The Normans in Sicily is a well-researched and comprehensive study of a fascinating period in Sicilian history. It is a valuable resource for historians, architects, and anyone interested in the cultural and political history of Sicily and the Mediterranean region.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
