SEASON 6: The Other Norman Conquest

EPISODE 110: Roger's First Steps

It's all about Roger—the youngest of the legendary Hauteville brothers—stepping out from his older siblings' shadows and into the blinding sun of Sicilian conquest. As Norman power spreads across the Mediterranean, Roger begins to carve out not just land, but legend. This is where his story truly begins—where ambition meets opportunity, and a new player enters the political game board of the medieval world.
