Everything about William Of Apulia totally explained
William of Apulia was a chronicler of the
Normans, writing in the 1090s. His
Latin poem,
The deeds of Robert Guiscard, one of the principal contemporary sources for the Norman conquests in southern Italy, was composed between 1096 and 1099. It can be dated by the reference in the prologue to
Pope Urban II; this gives a
terminus ante quem, for the pope died in July 1099. A reference in Book III to "the Gallic race [who] wanted to open the roads to the Holy Sepulchre" shows that William must have been writing after the beginning of the
First Crusade, called by Urban in November 1095. The poem was dedicated to Duke
Roger Borsa son of duke
Robert Guiscard.
William's is one of three
Italo-Norman histories, with those of
Amatus of Montecassino and
Goffredo Malaterra.
