		Geoffrey Malaterra characterized the Normans as "specially marked by cunning, despising their own inheritance in the hope of winning a greater, eager after both gain and dominion, given to imitation of all kinds, holding a certain mean between lavishness and greediness, that is, perhaps uniting, as they certainly did, these two seemingly opposite qualities.
		That quick adaptability Geoffrey mentions expressed itself in the shrewd Norman willingness to take on local men of talent, to marry the high-born local women; confidently illiterate Norman masters used the literate clerks of the church for their own purpose.
		Normans began to identify themselves as Anglo-Norman; indeed, the Anglo-Norman language was considerably distinct from the "Parisian French", which was the subject of some humour by Geoffrey Chaucer.

	Roger I of Sicily - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Malaterra, who compares Robert Guiscard and his brother to "Joseph and Benjamin of old," says of Roger: "He was a youth of the greatest beauty, of lofty stature, of graceful shape, most eloquent in speech and cool in counsel.
		Robert now resolved to employ Roger's genius in reducing Sicily, which contained, besides the Muslims, numerous Greek Christians subject to Arab princes who had become all but independent of the sultan of Tunis.
		His second son, Geoffrey, may have been a bastard, but may also have been a son of his first or second wife.

	Normans - LoveToKnow 1911
		But Geoffrey hardly did justice to the Normans if he meant to imply that they were simple imitators of others.
		The Norman power in Sicily was founded on a strong distinction between the ruling people and the many nations which they kept in peace and prosperity by not throwing in their lot with any one among them.
		But it was balanced by another quality which Geoffrey does not speak of, one which is not really inconsistent with the other, one which is very prominent in the Norman character, and which is, no less than the other, a direct heritage from their Scandinavian forefathers.

		The account was written by Geoffrey Malaterra, a monk who was installed in Sicily towards the end of the conquest, and until now it has only been available in Latin.
		Sicily had been controlled by Muslims since the 9th Century, and in about 1060 the Normans began their effort to take it back, though it took about 30 years before the island was again in Christian hands.
		But what’s especially interesting to Wolf is that while Malaterra seems in many way to be glorifying the deeds of Count Roger he also seems to be undercutting the motivations of the conquest.

		A further confusion may have arisen between the abbey (convent') and the town (Covent'), a possibility which is strengthened by the form Conventrensis in which Coventry appears in some of the earliest chronicle accounts of the legend.
		For the rest of this section it is assumed that Geoffrey, Prior of Cov., did write the lost chronicle mentioned above.

	Impressions And Comments
		We preserve our balance, in other words, by passing from one extreme to the opposite extreme, and keep in touch with our centre of gravity by rolling heavily from one side of it to the other side.
		Geoffrey Malaterra, who outlined the Norman character many centuries ago with much psychological acuteness, insisted on the excessiveness of that gens effrenatissima, the tendency to unite opposite impulses, the taste for contradictory extremes.
		Now of all their conquests the Normans only made one true and permanent Conquest, the Conquest of England.
