  • Documentary on the Hauteville brothers and the beginning of the Norman conquest of Sicily. Roger of Hauteville was a young, ambitious knight with nothing but his spirit and his sword to his name when he arrived in southern Italy. Judith d'Evroux was a beautiful young Norman noblewoman who swore to be Roger's bride. My book about the Crusades:

    History is so full of valient men and women who embodied love, loyalty, and valour. But all we get is yet another movie about Henry VIII...
    Thanks for telling this story.

      You don't even need a huge budget. The Spanish made a series about Isabel and Ferdinand with fairly low budget. Yet, the series is incredibly interesting. At least the first season, that's the only one I could find with subtitles.

    Love being a (Normand) Sicilian. My family and I were born outside of Palermo. I have a deep, great love for Sicily and all the people and our true history and culture. Make no mistake, we are NOT Italians.

      To be fair, I had to use mostly stock images. A lot of the images I used depicted Tristan and Isolde, since that's one source of images of medieval "lovers". And yes, I'm ready for Friday!

    Hello,i'd like to give a suggestion for a video here,about the Witch Trials in Europe,i find very interesting especially the point of religious fanatism is bad on either side,i hate how most viewers of this channel see Christianity as good and Islamism as bad,dont forget individuals have different mindsets and different morals,either one can be bad or good depending on the situation
    The way i see it,religious fanatism is bad independent of what religious belief you have.
