About This Book

The work traces the political history of southern Italy and the Kingdom of Naples in the early medieval era, recounting rivalries among local rulers, the invitation to a foreign monarch who intervenes and is crowned with imperial authority, subsequent legal and administrative reforms, military campaigns including expeditions against Byzantine-held territories, and the elevation of regional domains such as Capua into principalities. It blends chronological narrative with legal and institutional analysis, documenting shifts in sovereignty, feudal arrangements, and ecclesiastical relations while detailing episodes of siege, alliance, and dynastic contention that reshaped regional governance.
