Roger I, Count (sicily) : All Data

Roger I was a Count who ruled over the County of Sicily from 1061 to 1091. During his tenure, he faced several significant wars and revolts. One of the most important conflicts was the Norman conquest of Sicily, which began in 1061 and lasted until 1091. This war saw Roger I leading the Norman forces against the Muslim rulers of Sicily, ultimately resulting in the establishment of Norman rule over the island. Additionally, Roger I faced the revolt of the Lombards in 1072, a rebellion against Norman rule that was suppressed by the Count. These wars and revolts shaped Roger I's reign and solidified Norman control over Sicily.
