When on Christmas Day 1130 Roger de Hauteville (Roger II) was crowned the first King of Sicily, a period of peace, prosperity and artistic flourishing began which lasted until 1194.
Popular historian Viscount Norwich describes in this second volume of his readable and engaging history of the "Second Norman Conquest" the coming to power and the rule of Roger II in the tolerant and relatively harmonious Kingdom of Sicily.
Fending off rebellions, invasions and Pope Innocent II, who was concerned by the Normans' increasing power, Roger died in 1154. He was succeeded by his son William I (the "Bad" [who really wasn't]), who in turn was succeeded by his son William II, and the Kingdom of Sicily continued to flourish until around 1194, when William III was deposed and the Kingdom fell in 1194 to the House of Hohenstaufen.
