- Abstract
The book "The Normans in the Mediterranean" by Emily A. Winkler and Liam Fitzgerald deals with the Norman conquest of southern Italy and the formation of a new kingdom in 1130. The volume contains interdisciplinary contributions that address identity, conquest, and the Mediterranean as central concepts. The contributions cover topics such as military activities, strategic marriage relationships, the coexistence of different population groups, and religious appropriations. The authors use chronicle and hagiographic texts as well as archaeological findings as sources. The volume offers new insights into a wide range of topics and is nevertheless coherent and well-structured.
