Notes |
- King of Sicily 1130-1154
Count of Sicily, Duke of Calabria, Duke of Apulia
When his father died in 1101, his mother, Adelaide de Savona, ruled Sicily until 1112 when Roger became of age. Adelaide then went to Palestine and married King Baudouin of Jerusalem. Roger claimed the vacant Duchies of Calabria and Apulia which had belonged to his deceased cousin, William. With a show of his army, he forced Pope Honorius II to invest him with these Duchies. He then returned to Sicily and, in 1130 at Palermo, assuming the title of King of Sicily and Italy, was crowned by a representative of Anti-pope Anacletus. In 1133 the Latheran Council cancelled all actions of Anacletus but, in 1139, Roger captured Pope Innocent II and treated him with such reverence that the pope rewarded him with the titles of King of Sicily, Duke of Apulia, and Prince of Capua.
King Roger II then conquered Tripoli in North-Africa while his admiral, George of Antioch, conquered Corfu, Thebes and Corinthe and attacked Constantinople. Roger spent his last years in Palermo where he surrounded himself with learned Arabs while the literature in Sicily flourished.
Ruling with the assistance of a kind of parliament, Roger was tolerant towards his Saracen subjects while the Moslem religion was only practised. In public documents Greek, Latin and Arabic were used. As well, Saracen workmen were employed by him to build churches and the Palace of La Favara. In 1129 he began building the Cathedral of Cefalu.
Roger II (1095-1154), first king of Sicily (1130-54),
created a state in which Arabs, Greeks, Italians, and Jews lived together in peace and in which the arts and letters flourished.
The second son of Roger I, the Norman conqueror of Sicily, Roger succeeded his brother Simon (died 1105) as count of Sicily in1103. When his cousin Duke William of Apulia died in 1127, Roger laid claim to that duchy; by 1129 he had compelled the Norman barons on the Italian mainland to acknowledge him as their ruler. In 1130 he adopted the title of king of Sicily, with sovereignty also over the southern Italian regions of Apulia, Calabria, Capua, and Naples, establishing a monarchy that survived for more than seven centuries. He was recognized asking by Pope Innocent II (r. 1130-43) in 1139. Roger made his court at Palermo one of Europe's foremost cultural centers, and he erected throughout Sicily numerous buildings that were a striking blend of Norman, Arabic and Byzantine architectural styles.
