| | 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. |
