115: Battle of Cerami

SEASON 6: The Other Norman Conquest EPISODE 115: The Battle of Cerami Some battles live on not just for their violence, but for what they awaken. The Battle of Cerami was just that — a moment of valor, of brilliant leadership, and of seismic consequence. Roger de Hauteville stood his ground against overwhelming odds in what would become the Thermopylae of Norman Sicily. But battles like this leave more than scars and glory — they change landscapes, cultures, and destinies. Today, we tell the story of a clash that shaped the soul of a conquest. No More Paywalls! How?
