Any good suggestions about books/sources/works on the Norman invasions of Sicily and southern Italy? Works on Norman involvement in the Mediterranean also welcome.

John Julius Norwich is the go-to guy on this. He's made various books, "Normans in the South"/"Kingdom in the Sun" specifically on Normans in Italy. Later on, he wrote several adjacent pieces that fit well with his Norman books (books on Venice, Sicily and the Mediterranean)

Can Sicily still worship JAW efficiently after 400 years of Spanish rule?
