		Roger, who accompanied his mother, was bred at the court of Aragon and endowed with lands in the newly conquered kingdom of Valencia.

		Almogávar V—Roger de Lauria, named after a medieval warrior, might be seen in a way not dissimilar to the appearance of a disemboweled Corvette engine spread over a suburban lawn in Los Angeles.

	University Press of Florida: Sea Power in the Medieval Mediterranean
		Lawrence Mott’s study of the War of Sicilian Vespers provides an unprecedented view of the internal organization and operations of a medieval fleet.
		While the conflict of 1282-1302 between France and the crown of Aragon for control of Sicily had broad geopolitical implications, it was also notable for having been fought primarily at sea.
		Challenging assumptions concerning the war and medieval naval warfare in general, Mott demonstrates that it was remarkable fleet organization and leadership, not “luck” as many have claimed, that defeated the French and ultimately removed them as a major player in the Mediterranean for several centuries.

		The Commission's complaint alleges that in May 2001, Fuji representatives told Carl Stevens ("Stevens"), then president of Metzger, that Fuji was negotiating to acquire PSRC.
		In June 2001, Stevens told two Metzger executives, Steven Lauria ("Lauria") and Roger Oley ("Oley"), and a Metzger sales representative, Michael Susi ("Susi"), about Fuji's acquisition plans.
