Roger I of Sicily
Roger I (– 22 June 1101), nicknamed Roger Bosso and The Great Count, was a Norman nobleman who became the first Count of Sicily from 1071 to 1101.
He was a member of the House of Hauteville, and his descendants in the male line continued to rule Sicily down to 1194.
Roger was born in Normandy, and came to southern Italy as a young man in 1057.
He participated in several military expeditions against the Emirate of Sicily beginning in 1061.
He was invested with part of Sicily and the title of count by his brother, Robert Guiscard, Duke of Apulia, in 1071.
By 1090, he had conquered the entire island.
In 1091, he conquered Malta.
The state he created was merged with the Duchy of Apulia in 1127 and became the Kingdom of Sicily in 1130.
Judith d'Évreux
Judith d'Évreux († 1076) was a Norman noblewoman and Countess of Sicily.
Judith was the daughter of William d'Évreux and Hawise de Giroie, widow of Robert I de Grantmesnil.
She was second cousin of William the Conqueror her father being the son of Robert II Archbishop of Rouen, while her mother was the daughter of Giroie, Lord of Échauffour, a wealthy Norman baron.
Her half-brother Robert de Grandmesnil, abbot of the Norman Abbey of Saint-Evroul, was her guardian.
After quarreling with Duke William in January 1061, Robert fled Normandy with Judith, her brother and sister, to Rome.
Eventually he turned to Robert Guiscard, Duke of Calabria, who treated the abbot with great respect and invited him and his monks to settle in Calabria.
The Duke's brother Roger I of Sicily had known Judith from Normandy, and his status and fortunes had now changed considerably.
No longer the poor son of a lesser Norman family, when Count Roger heard that Judith was in Calabria he went to meet her.
They were married immediately and he took his bride to Mileto where the marriage was celebrated.
Roger soon left Judith in Mileto and returned to his campaigns in Sicily.
The following summer he joined Judith and brought her with him to Sicily where he and his army of three hundred went to Troina.
Leaving Judith in the care of his garrison he continued his campaign.
Greek residents then attacked his fortifications attempting to take Countess Judith prisoner and ransom her in exchange for the Norman's leaving Troina.
The garrison held out until Roger returned and rescued Judith and the troops guarding her.
For four more months the Normans fought the Greeks who had now joined forces with the Arabs.
Judith shared the hardships with her husband and the Norman troops living in the cold with little food.
Finally Roger was able to overcome the Arabs and regain control of Tronia.
Roger needed to return to the mainland to replenish their horses and supplies and left Judith once again.
This time Judith took command of the citadel herself until Roger returned.
Judith died, still a young woman, in Sicily in 1076.
Judith bore Roger a daughter, who married Hugh of Jarzé (
† 1076).
Other children of Judith were:
