In the 11th century, decades before the First Crusade, Norman mercenaries arrived in southern Italy. They would consolidate all of Southern Italy and Sicily into one kingdom. In doing so, not only did they wage war against the Byzantine Romans, the Pope, and Muslim Emirs in Sicily, but they drastically changed the nature of the relationship between all of these forces. They drove a wedge between the Byzantine Emperor and the Pope and later became the Pope's first military force. And for Muslims, the conquest of Sicily was the true First Crusade and the Kingdom of Sicily the first Crusader State!
