Let's Trail the Normans - Cathleen Brindley

From their original homeland of Scandinavia, the Northmen or Normans in the 9th century swept down into northern France and then into England, Ireland, Sicily and southern Italy. They were a potent and conquering force wherever they settled. In Let's Trail the Normans we meet and get to know men like William the Conqueror, Strongbow Earl of Pembroke, Robert Guiscard de Hauteville and Roger 11 King of Sicily, and their followers and associates, who left a lasting mark on the territories they occupied. Their castles, fortifications, churches and cathedrals, that we can still see and visit today, bear witness to their brilliance and ability.
