 Robert Guiscard - LoveToKnow 1911
The territory of Salerno was already Robert's; in December 1076 he took the city, expelling its Lombard prince Gisulf, whose sister Sikelgaita he had married.
The Norman attacks on Benevento, a papal fief, alarmed and angered Gregory VII., but pressed hard by the emperor, Henry IV., he turned again to the Normans, and at Ceprano (June r080) reinvested Robert, securing him also in the southern Abruzzi, but reserving Salerno.
Guiscard was succeeded by Roger " Borsa," his son by Sikelgaita; Bohemund, his son by an earlier Norman wife Alberada, being set aside.

 H-Net Review: Susanna Calkins on Gendering the Middle Ages
By this account, Sikelgaita unofficially shared command with her husband, the Norman leader Robert Guiscard, and even ordered a group of cowardly runaways to "halt and be men," using the extreme insult against their masculinity to rally the soldiers back into battle.
Sikelgaita continued to influence her husband, and later her son, creating a memory and legend for herself as a female warrior and leader.
Sikelgaita's life and legend offer a means to understand the gendered aspect of the Norman invasion and, even more broadly, to show how political upheaval could offer certain women opportunities (or "temporary spaces") to exert their power in different ways (p.

 Bohemund I of Antioch - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The war was finally resolved by the mediation of Pope Urban II and the award of Taranto and other possessions to Bohemund.
Though Bohemund received a small principality (an allodial possession) for himself in the heel of southern Italy, as compensation from Sikelgaita after renouncing his rights to the Duchy, he sought a greater status for himself.
The chronicler Romoald of Salerno said of Bohemund that "he was always seeking the impossible."

I didn't know Sikelgaita was such a tough bitch, haha, thanks for the input.
And just for the sake of correctness, "Guiscard" was only a nickname given to Robert, not their family name, that was Hauteville.

 I NORMANNI   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-23)
Il Guiscardo, impossessatosi anche dei possedimenti pugliesi del fratello Umfredo e ottenuto il titolo di duca di Puglia, avviò una politica volta a unificare le varie signorie normanne della Puglia e della Calabria e di stretta alleanza con il papa.
I nuovi dominatori introdussero in Calabria la novità del sistema feudale e avviarono la rilatinizzazione delle sue strutture ecclesiastiche, per cementare così il rapporto con il papato –ormai unico potere in grado di contrastarli e saldare l’impegno assunto con Roma con l’avvio della conquista del Mezzogiorno.
La contesa riguardò Ruggero Borsa, figlio avuto dalla seconda moglie Sikelgaita e designato dal Guiscardo a succedergli, e Boemondo, figlio avuto dalla prima moglie Alberada di Buonalbergo, poi ripudiata.
