About this listen

The Byzantine Empire rules in Southern Italy, but the indigenous populations are restless. The Lombards are no exception to this. One of their numbers, Arduin of Fassano, is appointed by a young Byzantine general to hold the key to Apulia. He is unaware that Arduin intends to join his Lombard brethren and rise up in revolt, hiring to aid him the Norman mercenaries of Campania. Led by William de Hauteville, the eldest of five mercenary brothers, the Normans cross into Apulia intent on more than aiding revolt: they are seeking land and titles for themselves. Will the might of the Byzantine Empire crush Arduin’s Lombard revolt? Or will the treachery that stalks the lands favour the Normans?

This is the second book in the series and much heavier going than the first with the story getting confusing I will listen to the third in the hope that it regains direction. On the plus side a great performance by JK

I don't think I ever thought of the Normans in Italy.
To be honest only ever thought about them in Normandy and England.
My history was severely lacking.
But what a tale was woven before me.Absolutley SUPERB .
