We are at this point in our Normans in Italy campaign:
1) The Pope is about to attack William 'Iron-Arm'
and
2) Robert 'Guiscard' has landed safely in Sicily.
So in our campaign Year 1048 Anno Domini Pope Leo IX raised an army of Lombards, Byzantines, Italians and Swabians and went south to rid the Italian Peninsular of the Norman menace: primarily William 'Iron-Arm'!!
(Historically this happened in 1053 and the battle was fought at Civitate....our campaign is running ahead of the historical version!)
But before we could sort out the Pope and his campaign, our first engagement was Robert's invasion of Sicily and his attack on the Ahlgalabid Muslims.
