First sentence: The foundation of the kingdom of Sicily in 1130 drastically altered the political composition of twelfth-century Europe and created a new state, which lasted, despite the vicissitudes of the late Middle Ages and the Spanish take-over in the fifteenth century, until the age of the Risorgimento.
Description: "This volume will therefore be a most important resource for both scholars and students of this fascinating area of medieval history, on which relatively little has hitherto been written in English."--Jacket.
