The Normans played a major role in European history. Famous for their martial spirit, they conquered lands in Europe and the Middle East. This course will study their development from their Viking origins to their settlement in Normandy. It will follow them as Kings of England, Kings of Sicily, rulers of Southern Italy, and Princes of Crusader States in the Holy Land. The course will consider textual and visual sources and focus on the political, military, and cultural changes the Normans brought to their dominions.
