The Norman Knights of Southern Italy
After the Dark Ages Southern Italy
was an unprotected land without kings:
the Norman nights saw the opportunity
and conquered it fighting Byzantine settlers.
They roamed the fertile Campanian countryside
and built their sturdy castles on hills to guard their territory;
their love for adventures hand an impact on Western history,
They defended the faith and remained Christians 'till they died.
They also freed the Holy Land from the Infidels...
and humbly bowed to Jesus Christ and Popes!
