Roger Sclavus

smh. a slav leading a germanic army in killing arabs in italy.

Too multicultural.

[Insuperable]

The study isn't still published on scientific journals.

Do you know why?

Some papers waited years for a review by scientific community.

Indeed.

Lombards in this case weren't anymore the Germanic people but the Northern Italians settled in Sicily.

Roger Sclavus was the illegitimate son of Simone del Vasto and of a slave woman (a slav?).

Simone Del Vasto was at that time the Count of the Lombards of Sicily (comites Lombardorum). He was a Lombard noble from Piedmont of Frankish origin and by his maternal line he was of Norman origin (his mother was Flandina de Hauteville, daughter of Roger I of Sicily).

Flandina was illegitimate.

Still worth a bit, I suppose, considering her half-brother became King in 1130.

Flandina was illegitimate.

Interesting.

According to Italian sources she was the son of Roger and Giuditta d'Evreux, a Norman noble and first wife of Roger.

His sources are pretty decent. http://genealogy.euweb.cz/note/source.html

It's possible that she wasn't a bastard, just going off of that.

And after the Norman conquest Muslim emigrated or were expelled, aand there was a migration from Northen Italy peoples.

Well, most of the Muslims were converted natives, not actual Arabs or Berbers... and there is not much North Italian admixture in Sicily except for the Lombard towns.

[Sikeliot]

Exactly. Both come from the Greek word for hawk (ierax/geraki).

And the surname Geraci comes from there too.
