Normans
|
The Normans (Norman: Nourmands; French: Normands; Latin: Normanni) were the people who in the 10th and 11th centuries gave their name to Normandy, a region in France. They were descended from Norse ("Norman" comes from "Norseman") raiders and pirates from Denmark, Iceland and Norway who, under their leader Rollo, agreed to swear fealty to King Charles III of West Francia. Through generations of assimilation and mixing with the native Frankish and Roman-Gaulish populations, their descendants would gradually merge with the Carolingian-based cultures of West Francia. The distinct cultural and ethnic identity of the Normans emerged initially in the first half of the 10th century, and it continued to evolve over the succeeding centuries.

This agreement led to the establishment of Normandy as a fiefdom under the control of the Carolingian dynasty."

Question: When did the Frankish identity emerge?
Answer:
|
[
"Answer: The Frankish identity emerged much earlier than the emergence of the Norman identity. The Franks were a group of Germanic tribes who first appeared in Roman history during the 3rd century AD. They became powerful in Gaul (modern-day France) and eventually founded the Carolingian Empire. The term \"Frank\" was used by the Romans as a collective name for several Germanic tribes that allied with Rome against other Germanic groups. The Carolingian-based cultures of West Francia, mentioned in the background, refer to the culture that developed from the rule of the Carolingian dynasty, which lasted from the 9th to the 10th century. Therefore, the Frankish identity predates the Norman identity by several centuries."

The Norman dynasty had a major political, cultural and military impact on medieval Europe and even the Near East. The Normans were famed for their martial spirit and eventually for their Christian piety, becoming exponents of the Catholic orthodoxy into which they assimilated. They adopted the Gallo-Romance language of the Frankish land they settled, their dialect becoming known as Norman, Normaund or Norman French, an important literary language. The Duchy of Normandy, which they formed by treaty with the French crown, was a great fief of medieval France, and under Richard I of Normandy was forged into a cohesive and formidable principality in feudal tenure. The Normans are noted both for their culture, such as their unique Romanesque architecture and musical traditions, and for their significant military accomplishments and innovations. Norman adventurers founded the Kingdom of Sicily under Roger II after conquering southern Italy on the Saracens and Byzantines, and an expedition on behalf of their duke, William the Conqueror, led to the Norman conquest of England at the Battle of Hastings in 1066. Norman cultural and military influence spread from these new European centres to the Crusader states of the Near East, where their prince Bohemond I founded the Principality of Antioch in the Levant, to Scotland and Wales in Great Britain, to Ireland, and to the coasts of north Africa and the Canary Islands.

Question: Who ruled the duchy of Normandy
Answer:
|
[
"The Duchy of Normandy was ruled by various members of the Norman dynasty over its history. One notable ruler is Richard I of Normandy, who helped forge the Duchy into a cohesive and formidable principality during his reign. Another well-known figure is William the Conqueror (also known as William I of England), who was the Duke of Normandy before he led the Norman conquest of England in 1066. The Norman rulers often held the title of Duke of Normandy while also claiming other titles through their conquests and marriages. For instance, Robert II of Normandy and Henry I of England were also Duke of Normandy. The exact rulers varied over time, but they were all part of the broader Norman lineage that wielded significant political, cultural, and military power across Europe and the Near East during the medieval period."

Answer:

[
"The Normans were Christian, specifically adherents of the Catholic faith. Initially, the Normans embraced the Germanic pagan religions common among the Scandinavian peoples from whom they descended. However, during their early settlement in诺曼人皈依了基督教，具体来说是天主教。最初，诺曼人信奉的是源自他们早期斯堪的纳维亚祖先的日耳曼多神教。但在他们定居诺曼底初期，诺曼人接受了基督教，并最终融入了天主教正统。随着诺曼人的扩张和征服行动，他们的宗教信仰也随着他们传播到了其他地区，包括英格兰、意大利南部以及参与十字军东征时所到达的近东地区。诺曼人在这些地方都建立了以天主教为基础的政权或领地，如在安提阿建立的伯爵国。"

Question: What type of major impact did the Norman dynasty have on modern Europe?
Answer:
|
[
"The Norman dynasty had a significant and multifaceted impact on modern Europe, though many of its effects are more historical than immediate. Here are some key areas where Norman influence can still be observed:\n\n1. **Language and Culture**: Modern French, although it evolved significantly since the Middle Ages, has roots in the Romance languages that included Old Norman. Additionally, the Norman legacy is evident in the legal system of some regions, particularly in Normandy, where Norman law and customs still play a role.\n\n2. **Architecture**: Norman architectural styles, particularly Romanesque, left a lasting impression on European building design. This style can be seen in numerous churches, castles, and other structures across Europe.\n\n3. **Cultural Heritage**: The Normans' contribution to literature and music is also enduring. While much of this was in the Norman-French dialect, it laid groundwork for later literary and musical traditions in France and elsewhere.\n\n4. **Political Structures**: The concept of feudalism, which played a crucial role during the Norman period, contributed to the development of political and social structures that are still evident in modern governance systems.\n\n5. **Military Traditions**: Norman military tactics and strategies influenced subsequent military practices and continue to inform aspects of military history and strategy.\n\n6. **Expansion and Exploration**: The Norman conquests in England, Sicily, and the Crusader states in the Near East helped shape colonial and exploratory endeavors that were continued by later European powers.\n\n7. **Legal Systems**: Some aspects of Norman legal practices, particularly in property rights and inheritance laws, have influenced contemporary legal frameworks in various regions.\n\n8. **Influence on Modern Nations**: The Norman legacy can be seen in the identity and history of several modern nations, including France, England, and parts of Italy. For example, the region of Normandy in France retains a distinct Norman cultural identity and many Norman surnames persist in France and beyond.\n\nOverall, while not all of the Norman dynasty's direct influences remain today, their broader contributions to cultural, legal, and political structures have shaped modern Europe in profound ways."

Norman adventurers founded the Kingdom of Sicily under Roger II after conquering southern Italy on the Saracens and Byzantines, and an expedition on behalf of their duke, William the Conqueror, led to the Norman conquest of England at the Battle of Hastings in 1066. Norman cultural and military influence spread from these new European centres to the Crusader states of the Near East, where their prince Bohemond I founded the Principality of Antioch in the Levant, to Scotland and Wales in Great Britain, to Ireland, and to the coasts of north Africa and the Canary Islands.

Question: Who assimilted the Roman language?
Answer:
|
[
"'t seems there's a misunderstanding in your question. The Normans did not assimilate the Roman language; rather, they adopted the Gallo-Romance language of the Franks who inhabited the lands they settled in, which evolved into what is now known as Old Norman, or Old French. This adoption occurred after the Normans, originally Norse Viking raiders, settled in the northern French region of诺曼底，并逐渐融入当地社会，最终采用了当地的加洛-罗马语，即古诺曼语或古法语。这一过程发生在诺曼人最初作为北欧维京海盗入侵法国诺曼底地区之后，逐渐定居下来并与当地人民融合的过程中。\n\n请允许我纠正并重新回答您的问题：\n\nThe Normans did not assimilate the Latin (Roman) language. Instead, they adopted the Gallo-Romance language of the Franks who inhabited the lands they settled in, which evolved into Old Norman, or Old French. This adoption took place after the Normans, who were originally Norse Viking raiders, settled in the northern French region of Normandy and gradually integrated into the local society.\n \n如果您有其他关于诺曼人的具体问题，请告诉我，我会尽力帮助您！"

Question: Who ruled the country of Normandy?
Answer:
|
[
"The Duchy of Normandy was ruled by a series of Norman dukes who held it as a fief of the French crown. The most notable of these include:\n\n- Richard I of Normandy (also known as Richard the Fearless), who ruled from 927 to 938.\n- Richard II of Normandy, who ruled from 938 to 942.\n- Robert I of Normandy (Robert the Magnificent), who ruled from 942 to 996.\n- Richard III of Normandy, who ruled from 996 to 1026.\n- William Longsword, who ruled from 1027 to 1035.\n- Richard IV of Normandy, who ruled from 1035 to 1042.\n- William the Conqueror (Guillaume le Conquérant), who ruled from 1035 until his death in 1087, and who later became King of England after the Norman Conquest in 1066.\n\nWilliam the Conqueror's death led to the succession of his son Henry I of England, who also held the title Duke of Normandy until he lost the duchy in 1106 to the French king, who reclaimed Normandy. Thus, while Normandy remained under the influence and at times the direct control of the French crown, it was governed by a series of Norman dukes."

Question: What principality did William the conquerer found?
Answer:
|
[
"William the Conqueror did not found any principality himself. However, his Norman army conducted the Norman conquest of England in 1066, leading to him becoming the King of England. This conquest significantly changed the political landscape of England, integrating the Norman nobility and their feudal system into English society.\n\nThe principality mentioned in the background is the Kingdom of Sicily, which was founded by Roger II, the son of Count Roger I of Sicily, who was a Norman adventurer and relative of William the Conqueror. Roger II succeeded in unifying the territories of southern Italy, including Sicily, into a single kingdom, thereby establishing the Kingdom of Sicily."

Question: What is the original meaning of the word Norman?
Answer:
|
[
"Answer: The original meaning of the word \"Norman\" derives from its linguistic roots in Old Low Franconian and Old Norse, where it referred to \"Northmen.\" Specifically, it comes from the term \"Norðmaðr,\" which literally translates to \"northmen\" or \"northerners.\" This term was used to describe Norse settlers and warriors who came from northern Europe, particularly from what is now Norway, to establish themselves in parts of France, Italy, and other regions during the medieval period. Over time, this term evolved and was adopted into French as \"Norman\" and then into English, where it came to specifically denote the ethnic group of people from Normandy, France, who were descendants of these Norse settlers and had significant political and cultural influence in Western Europe."

"Answer: The French version of the word \"Norman,\" derived from Old Low Franconian Nortmann or directly from Old Norse Norðmaðr, appears to have been borrowed into Old French as \"Normanz,\" the plural of \"Normant.\" While the exact earliest record of this term in French is not explicitly detailed in historical records, it is generally believed that the term was used in French during the 9th century, concurrent with its use in Latin forms such as Nortmannus, Normannus, or Nordmannus. This timeframe aligns with the period when the Normans, originally Vikings who had settled in Northern France, began to establish their influence and identity distinctively separate from other Scandinavian groups."

In the course of the 10th century, the initially destructive incursions of Norse war bands into the rivers of France evolved into more permanent encampments that included local women and personal property. The Duchy of Normandy, which began in 911 as a fiefdom, was established by the treaty of Saint-Clair-sur-Epte between King Charles III of West Francia and the famed Viking ruler Rollo, and was situated in the former Frankish kingdom of Neustria. The treaty offered Rollo and his men the French lands between the river Epte and the Atlantic coast in exchange for their protection against further Viking incursions. The area corresponded to the northern part of present-day Upper Normandy down to the river Seine, but the Duchy would eventually extend west beyond the Seine. The territory was roughly equivalent to the old province of Rouen, and reproduced the Roman administrative structure of Gallia Lugdunensis II (part of the former Gallia Lugdunensis).

Question: when did Nors encampments ivolve into destructive incursions?
Answer:

[
"The title \"Normans\" and the context provided suggest that the Norse incursions turned into more permanent encampments in the 10th century, specifically around the year 911 with the Treaty of Saint-Clair-sur-Epte. However, it's important to note that the transition from destructive incursions to more permanent settlements likely happened gradually over several decades before this formal treaty. The initial raids and incursions by Norse war bands began earlier, but the transformation into stable encampments and family-based settlements is typically dated to the 10th century as the text implies."

Before Rollo's arrival, its populations did not differ from Picardy or the Île-de-France, which were considered "Frankish". Earlier Viking settlers had begun arriving in the 880s, but were divided between colonies in the east (Roumois and Pays de Caux) around the low Seine valley and in the west in the Cotentin Peninsula, and were separated by traditional pagii, where the population remained about the same with almost no foreign settlers. Rollo's contingents who raided and ultimately settled Normandy and parts of the Atlantic coast included Danes, Norwegians, Norse–Gaels, Orkney Vikings, possibly Swedes, and Anglo-Danes from the English Danelaw under Norse control.

Earlier Viking settlers had begun arriving in the 880s, but were divided between colonies in the east (Roumois and Pays de Caux) around the low Seine valley and in the west in the Cotentin Peninsula, and were separated by traditional pagii, where the population remained about the same with almost no foreign settlers. Rollo's contingents who raided and ultimately settled Normandy and parts of the Atlantic coast included Danes, Norwegians, Norse–Gaels, Orkney Vikings, possibly Swedes, and Anglo-Danes from the English Danelaw under Norse control.

Answer:

"Answer: Rollo began to arrive in Normandy in the late 9th century, specifically after the earlier Viking settlements in the 880s. His contingents, which included Danes, Norwegians, Norse–Gaels, Orkney Vikings, possibly Swedes, and Anglo-Danes from the English Danelaw under Norse control, started their raids and eventually led to the settlement of Normandy and parts of the Atlantic coast."

"'the Normans that Rollo and his forces intermingled with and ultimately conquered included Danes, Norwegians, Norse–Gaels, Orkney Vikings, and possibly Swedes. Additionally, there were Anglo-Danes from the English Danelaw under Norse control. These various groups had established settlements in different parts of the region before Rollo's arrival, primarily in the east along the lower Seine valley and in the west on the Cotentin Peninsula. However, it was Rollo and his forces who brought about significant changes, leading to the formation of the territory known as Normandy and extending their influence along parts of the Atlantic coast."

The descendants of Rollo's Vikings and their Frankish wives would replace the Norse religion and Old Norse language with Catholicism (Christianity) and the Gallo-Romance language of the local people, blending their maternal Frankish heritage with Old Norse traditions and customs to synthesize a unique "Norman" culture in the north of France. The Norman language was forged by the adoption of the indigenous langue d'oïl branch of Romance by a Norse-speaking ruling class, and it developed into the regional language that survives today.

Question: What part of France were the Normans located?
Answer:

"Answer: The Normans were primarily located in the northern part of France, specifically in an area known as Normandy. This region includes territories such as modern-day upper Normandy and lower Normandy (now merged into the Pays de la Loire and Normandy regions). Initially settled by Viking raiders and colonists led by figures like Rollo, this area gradually developed a distinct cultural identity characterized by a blend of Norse and Frankish influences, leading to the emergence of the \"Norman\" culture and language as described."

Question: What language replaced the Gallo-Romance language?
Answer:
|
[
"Answer: The Gallo-Romance language was not fully replaced but rather influenced the development of the Norman language. The Norse-speaking ruling class adopted the langue d'oïl branch of Romance, which is a type of Gallo-Romance language, and this led to the formation of Norman as a distinct regional language. Therefore, while there was an influence from the Norse speakers on the local Romance languages, it did not result in one language completely replacing another but rather in the creation of a blended Norman language that incorporates elements from both Norse and Gallo-Romance linguistic traditions."

Question: What was one of the Norman's major imports?
Answer:
|
[
"Options for the answer could be:\n\nOne of the Normans' major imports was grain and other agricultural products. Given the context provided about Norman knights being \"poor and land-hungry,\" it's logical to infer that they would need to import resources they couldn't produce in sufficient quantity on their own lands. Grain and other agricultural goods were essential for sustaining a large military force and supporting the population. Additionally, with Normandy exporting fighting horsemen, there might have been an import of horses or other necessities from regions where these items were more abundant. However, based on the information provided, the focus seems to be on agricultural imports as a primary need."

Answer:

"The old French aristocracy, who traced their lineage to Franks of the Carolingian dynasty, as well as the Normans, including those from Italy, France, and England, eventually served as avid Crusaders. Specifically, notable figures like Italo-Norman prince Bohemund I and Anglo-Norman king Richard the Lion-Heart led Crusading efforts."

Soon after the Normans began to enter Italy, they entered the Byzantine Empire and then Armenia, fighting against the Pechenegs, the Bulgars, and especially the Seljuk Turks. Norman mercenaries were first encouraged to come to the south by the Lombards to act against the Byzantines, but they soon fought in Byzantine service in Sicily. They were prominent alongside Varangian and Lombard contingents in the Sicilian campaign of George Maniaces in 1038–40. There is debate whether the Normans in Greek service actually were from Norman Italy, and it now seems likely only a few came from there. It is also unknown how many of the "Franks", as the Byzantines called them, were Normans and not other Frenchmen.

Question: Who was the Normans' main enemy in Italy, the Byzantine Empire and Armenia?
Answer:
|
[
"In Italy, the Normans encountered various enemies, including the Lombards (with whom they sometimes allied and sometimes fought), the Papal States, and local Italian principalities. However, based on the information provided, the Normans did not have the Byzantine Empire or Armenia as direct enemies in Italy. The text states that the Normans entered the Byzantine Empire and later Armenia, where they fought against the Pechenegs, Bulgars, and especially the Seljuk Turks, but these conflicts did not take place in Italy.\n\nTo directly answer the question within the context given:\n\n- In Italy, the Normans did not have the Byzantine Empire or Armenia as their main enemies.\n- Their main enemies in Italy were not explicitly listed in the provided background, but they likely included other Italian powers and factions such as the Lombards and local Italian rulers."

However, based on the broader historical background mentioned, it is known that after their entry into Italy, the Normans eventually fought various groups including the Pechenegs, the Bulgars, and particularly the Seljuk Turks. These conflicts arose as the Normans expanded their influence both within Italy and in territories beyond, such as the Byzantine Empire and Armenia.

One of the first Norman mercenaries to serve as a Byzantine general was Hervé in the 1050s. By then however, there were already Norman mercenaries serving as far away as Trebizond and Georgia. They were based at Malatya and Edessa, under the Byzantine duke of Antioch, Isaac Komnenos. In the 1060s, Robert Crispin led the Normans of Edessa against the Turks. Roussel de Bailleul even tried to carve out an independent state in Asia Minor with support from the local population, but he was stopped by the Byzantine general Alexius Komnenos.

Question: When did Herve go up against the Turks?
Answer:
|
[
"Answer: Hervé, one of the first Norman mercenaries to serve as a Byzantine general, would have gone up against the Turks likely in the 1050s, since the question specifies his service during that decade. However, the direct confrontation with the Turks is not specifically mentioned for Hervé in the provided background information. The text does mention that Robert Crispin led the Normans of Edessa against the Turks in the 1060s, which is a decade after Hervé's service. Therefore, if Hervé did face the Turks, it would have been sometime between the late 1050s and early 1060s, possibly around the time when Robert Crispin was active."

Some Normans joined Turkish forces to aid in the destruction of the Armenians vassal-states of Sassoun and Taron in far eastern Anatolia. Later, many took up service with the Armenian state further south in Cilicia and the Taurus Mountains. A Norman named Oursel led a force of "Franks" into the upper Euphrates valley in northern Syria. From 1073 to 1074, 8,000 of the 20,000 troops of the Armenian general Philaretus Brachamius were Normans—formerly of Oursel—led by Raimbaud. They even lent their ethnicity to the name of their castle: Afranji, meaning "Franks." The known trade between Amalfi and Antioch and between Bari and Tarsus may be related to the presence of Italo-Normans in those cities while Amalfi and Bari were under Norman rule in Italy.

Some Normans joined Turkish forces to aid in the destruction of the Armenians vassal-states of Sassoun and Taron in far eastern Anatolia. Later, many took up service with the Armenian state further south in Cilicia and the Taurus Mountains. A Norman named Oursel led a force of "Franks" into the upper Euphrates valley in northern Syria. From 1073 to 1074, 8,000 of the 20,000 troops of the Armenian general Philaretus Brachamius were Normans—formerly of Oursel—led by Raimbaud. They even lent their ethnicity to the name of their castle: Afranji, meaning "Franks." The known trade between Amalfi and Antioch and between Bari and Tarsus may be related to the presence of Italo-Normans in those cities while Amalfi and Bari were under Norman rule in Italy.

Several families of Byzantine Greece were of Norman mercenary origin during the period of the Comnenian Restoration, when Byzantine emperors were seeking out western European warriors. The Raoulii were descended from an Italo-Norman named Raoul, the Petraliphae were descended from a Pierre d'Aulps, and that group of Albanian clans known as the Maniakates were descended from Normans who served under George Maniaces in the Sicilian expedition of 1038.

Question: What were the origins of the Raouliii family?
Answer:
|
[
"Title: Origin of the Raoulii Family\n\nThe Raoulii family had its roots in Norman mercenaries who came to Byzantine Greece during the Comnenian Restoration. Specifically, they were descendants of an individual named Raoul, who was an Italo-Norman warrior. This connection to Norman heritage indicates that Raoul likely participated in military campaigns or service in the Byzantine Empire, possibly as part of larger groups of Western European mercenaries that were sought after by Byzantine emperors for their skill and strength during this period."

Robert Guiscard, an other Norman adventurer previously elevated to the dignity of count of Apulia as the result of his military successes, ultimately drove the Byzantines out of southern Italy. Having obtained the consent of pope Gregory VII and acting as his vassal, Robert continued his campaign conquering the Balkan peninsula as a foothold for western feudal lords and the Catholic Church. After allying himself with Croatia and the Catholic cities of Dalmatia, in 1081 he led an army of 30,000 men in 300 ships landing on the southern shores of Albania, capturing Valona, Kanina, Jericho (Orikumi), and reaching Butrint after numerous pillages. They joined the fleet that had previously conquered Corfu and attacked Dyrrachium from land and sea, devastating everything along the way. Under these harsh circumstances, the locals accepted the call of emperor Alexius I Comnenus to join forces with the Byzantines against the Normans. The Albanian forces could not take part in the ensuing battle because it had started before their arrival. Immediately before the battle, the Venetian fleet had secured a victory in the coast surrounding the city. Forced to retreat, Alexius ceded the command to a high Albanian official named Comiscortes in the service of Byzantium. The city's garrison resisted until February 1082, when Dyrrachium was betrayed to the Normans by the Venetian and Amalfitan merchants who had settled there. The Normans were now free to penetrate into the hinterland; they took Ioannina and some minor cities in southwestern Macedonia and Thessaly before appearing at the gates of Thessalonica. Dissension among the high ranks coerced the Normans to retreat to Italy. They lost Dyrrachium, Valona, and Butrint in 1085, after the death of Robert.

The Albanian forces could not take part in the ensuing battle because it had started before their arrival. Immediately before the battle, the Venetian fleet had secured a victory in the coast surrounding the city. Forced to retreat, Alexius ceded the command to a high Albanian official named Comiscortes in the service of Byzantium. The city's garrison resisted until February 1082, when Dyrrachium was betrayed to the Normans by the Venetian and Amalfitan merchants who had settled there. The Normans were now free to penetrate into the hinterland; they took Ioannina and some minor cities in southwestern Macedonia and Thessaly before appearing at the gates of Thessalonica. Dissension among the high ranks coerced the Normans to retreat to Italy. They lost Dyrrachium, Valona, and Butrint in 1085, after the death of Robert.
Question: When did Dyrrachium fall to the Normans?
Answer:

"cessez suivre les événements décrits dans le récit, Dyrrachium tomba aux mains des Normans en février 1082. Avant cette date, la garnison de la ville résista, mais elle finit par se rendre après que la ville ait été trahie par des marchands venetiens et amalfitains qui y étaient installés."

Robert Guiscard, an other Norman adventurer previously elevated to the dignity of count of Apulia as the result of his military successes, ultimately drove the Byzantines out of southern Italy. Having obtained the consent of pope Gregory VII and acting as his vassal, Robert continued his campaign conquering the Balkan peninsula as a foothold for western feudal lords and the Catholic Church. After allying himself with Croatia and the Catholic cities of Dalmatia, in 1081 he led an army of 30,000 men in 300 ships landing on the southern shores of Albania, capturing Valona, Kanina, Jericho (Orikumi), and reaching Butrint after numerous pillages. They joined the fleet that had previously conquered Corfu and attacked Dyrrachium from land and sea, devastating everything along the way. Under these harsh circumstances, the locals accepted the call of emperor Alexius I Comnenus to join forces with the Byzantines against the Normans.

Question: Who ultimatly drove the Byzantines out of Europe?
Answer:
|
[
"'t wasn't Robert Guiscard alone who drove the Byzantines out of Europe, but rather the Norman forces under his leadership. Robert Guiscard, a prominent Norman leader, successfully drove the Byzantines out of southern Italy. His campaign extended beyond Italy when he allied with Croatia and the Catholic cities of Dalmatia to launch attacks further into the Balkan peninsula, including parts of Albania and what is now modern-day Greece. However, it's important to note that while the Normans made significant advances, the Byzantine Empire still maintained control over much of the Balkans after these conflicts. The ultimate expulsion of Byzantine influence from specific regions would have occurred over a longer period and through various conflicts involving multiple parties."

Question: What fell to the Normans in the 10th century?
Answer:
|
[
"Based on the information provided in the background, the territories that fell to the Normans in the 11th century, not the 10th century, include:\n\n- Valona (captured in 1081)\n- Kanina (captured in 1081)\n- Jericho/Orikumi (captured in 1081)\n- Butrint (captured in 1081)\n- Corfu (conquered by the fleet that joined the Normans in 1081)\n- Dyrrachium (captured in 1081, taken back in February 1082 after being betrayed, then retaken by the Normans in 1085)\n- Ioannina and some minor cities in southwestern Macedonia and Thessaly (taken in 1081)\n\nIt's important to note that these conquests began in 1081, not in the 10th century. The Normans' hold on these areas was tenuous, as evidenced by their loss of Dyrrachium, Valona, and Butrint in 1085, following the death of Robert Guiscard."

Robert Guiscard, an other Norman adventurer previously elevated to the dignity of count of Apulia as the result of his military successes, ultimately drove the Byzantines out of southern Italy. Having obtained the consent of pope Gregory VII and acting as his vassal, Robert continued his campaign conquering the Balkan peninsula as a foothold for western feudal lords and the Catholic Church. After allying himself with Croatia and the Catholic cities of Dalmatia, in 1081 he led an army of 30,000 men in 300 ships landing on the southern shores of Albania, capturing Valona, Kanina, Jericho (Orikumi), and reaching Butrint after numerous pillages. They joined the fleet that had previously conquered Corfu and attacked Dyrrachium from land and sea, devastating everything along the way. Under these harsh circumstances, the locals accepted the call of emperor Alexius I Comnenus to join forces with the Byzantines against the Normans. The Albanian forces could not take part in the ensuing battle because it had started before their arrival. Immediately before the battle, the Venetian fleet had secured a victory in the coast surrounding the city. Forced to retreat, Alexius ceded the command to a high Albanian official named Comiscortes in the service of Byzantium. The city's garrison resisted until February 1082, when Dyrrachium was betrayed to the Normans by the Venetian and Amalfitan merchants who had settled there. The Normans were now free to penetrate into the hinterland; they took Ioannina and some minor cities in southwestern Macedonia and Thessaly before appearing at the gates of Thessalonica. Dissension among the high ranks coerced the Normans to retreat to Italy. They lost Dyrrachium, Valona, and Butrint in 1085, after the death of Robert.

Answer:

[
"'t seems there might be a bit of confusion in your question. The passage mentions the size of Robert Guiscard's army, but it does not state how many men the army faced in battle. According to the text, Robert Guiscard led an army of 30,000 men in 300 ships during his campaign in Albania. \n\nThe number of men opposing Robert's army is not specified in the given background information. The text describes battles and campaigns without providing specific figures for the opposing forces. If you're looking for details on the numbers of the opposing forces or any other specific information, please let me know, and I'll do my best to provide it based on the available data."

A few years after the First Crusade, in 1107, the Normans under the command of Bohemond, Robert's son, landed in Valona and besieged Dyrrachium using the most sophisticated military equipment of the time, but to no avail. Meanwhile, they occupied Petrela, the citadel of Mili at the banks of the river Deabolis, Gllavenica (Ballsh), Kanina and Jericho. This time, the Albanians sided with the Normans, dissatisfied by the heavy taxes the Byzantines had imposed upon them. With their help, the Normans secured the Arbanon passes and opened their way to Dibra. The lack of supplies, disease and Byzantine resistance forced Bohemond to retreat from his campaign and sign a peace treaty with the Byzantines in the city of Deabolis.

The further decline of Byzantine state-of-affairs paved the road to a third attack in 1185, when a large Norman army invaded Dyrrachium, owing to the betrayal of high Byzantine officials. Some time later, Dyrrachium—one of the most important naval bases of the Adriatic—fell again to Byzantine hands.

The Normans were in contact with England from an early date. Not only were their original Viking brethren still ravaging the English coasts, they occupied most of the important ports opposite England across the English Channel. This relationship eventually produced closer ties of blood through the marriage of Emma, sister of Duke Richard II of Normandy, and King Ethelred II of England. Because of this, Ethelred fled to Normandy in 1013, when he was forced from his kingdom by Sweyn Forkbeard. His stay in Normandy (until 1016) influenced him and his sons by Emma, who stayed in Normandy after Cnut the Great's conquest of the isle.

Question: Who married Cnut the Great?
Answer:
|
[
"Answer: Cnut the Great did not marry Emma of Normandy, as she had already passed away by the time Cnut became king. Emma of Normandy was previously married to King Ethelred the Unready of England and later to Cnut the Great. After Cnut's conquest of England, he ruled jointly with Emma until her death in 1052. Therefore, it is inaccurate to ask who married Cnut the Great in terms of a new marriage, as he was already married to Emma. If the question aims to identify a spouse of Cnut's, then Emma of Normandy would be the answer in the context provided."

His stay in Normandy (until 1016) influenced him and his sons by Emma, who stayed in Normandy after Cnut the Great's conquest of the isle.

Title: Normans
Background: The Normans were in contact with England from an early date. Not only were their original Viking brethren still ravaging the English coasts, they occupied most of the important ports opposite England across the English Channel. This relationship eventually produced closer ties of blood through the marriage of Emma, sister of Duke Richard II of Normandy, and King Ethelred II of England. Because of this, Ethelred fled to Normandy in 1013, when he was forced from his kingdom by Sweyn Forkbeard. His stay in Normandy (until 1016) influenced him and his sons by Emma, who stayed in Normandy after Cnut the Great's conquest of the isle.

Question: Who's major ports were controlled by the English?
Answer:
|
[
"Answer: Based on the provided background information, the major ports opposite England that were controlled by the Normans were located across the English Channel. These ports were significant because they were occupied by the Normans and could be used for military operations, trade, and maintaining a presence in close proximity to England. Specifically, the text mentions that these ports were \"important\" and opposite England, but it does not list the specific names of these ports. To answer more precisely, we would need additional historical sources detailing which particular Norman-held ports were closest to the English coast during this period."

When finally Edward the Confessor returned from his father's refuge in 1041, at the invitation of his half-brother Harthacnut, he brought with him a Norman-educated mind. He also brought many Norman counsellors and fighters, some of whom established an English cavalry force. This concept never really took root, but it is a typical example of the attitudes of Edward. He appointed Robert of Jumièges archbishop of Canterbury and made Ralph the Timid earl of Hereford. He invited his brother-in-law Eustace II, Count of Boulogne to his court in 1051, an event which resulted in the greatest of early conflicts between Saxon and Norman and ultimately resulted in the exile of Earl Godwin of Wessex.

Question: When did Edward the Confessor's son return from his fathers refuge?
Answer:
|
[
"The statement in the background information is a bit confusing as it mentions that Edward the Confessor returned from what seems to be his father's refuge, but Edward the Confessor was not a son, he was the King of England. The correct interpretation should be that when Edward the Confessor returned from exile in his father's (Ethelred the Unready) refuge, it was in 1041. So, the answer to the question \"When did Edward the Confessor's [son] return from his father's refuge?\" would be:\n\nEdward the Confessor returned from his father's refuge in 1041."

"Answer: The passage does not state that Harthacnut established any particular force. Instead, it mentions that Edward the Confessor brought with him the concept of establishing an English cavalry force when he returned in 1041. This idea was brought along with him from his time in Norman education and counsel, but the text indicates that this concept \"never really took root.\" Therefore, there is no specific force mentioned as being established by Harthacnut based on the information provided."

Answer:

"Answer: Before the Normans, the ruling class in England was composed of the Anglo-Saxons. The Anglo-Saxons had been the dominant cultural and political force in England for centuries prior to the Norman conquest. They were ruled by various kingdoms, the most powerful of which were the kingdoms of Mercia, Northumbria, and Wessex. It was the Kingdom of Wessex that eventually united much of England under its rule before the Norman conquest in 1066."
