Q: Extract the answer to the question from the following context. Question: Of the Norman conquest of Islamic Sicily, and the Crusades, which one happened first? Context: Increasing military and cultural contacts with the Muslim world, including the Norman conquest of Islamic Sicily in 1090, the Crusades, beginning 1096, and the Islamic presence in Spain, may have influenced Medieval Europe's adoption of the pointed arch, although this hypothesis remains controversial. Certainly, in those parts of the Western Mediterranean subject to Islamic control or influence, rich regional variants arose, fusing Romanesque and later Gothic traditions with Islamic decorative forms, as seen, for example, in Monreale and Cefalu Cathedrals, the Alcazar of Seville, and Teruel Cathedral.
A: Norman conquest of Islamic Sicily

Q: Extract the answer to the question from the following context. Question: What was the decision following the war? Context: With Burma preoccupied by the Chinese threat, Ayutthaya recovered its territories by 1770, and went on to capture Lan Na by 1776. Burma and Siam went to war until 1855, but all resulted in a stalemate, exchanging Tenasserim (to Burma) and Lan Na (to Ayutthaya).

It was the second-largest empire in Burmese history but also one with a long ill-defined border with British India.
A:
King Bodawpaya turned west
