Norman Leader Robert Guiscard's Fight With Byzantine (Eastern Rome)

The influence of the Migration of Tribes affected almost all of Europe. This influence has been an important factor in the formation of today's Europe. These tribes, which Rome described as barbarian, tried to find a place for themselves in Europe. The Vikings were one of these tribes, and they were active in both navigation and war skills. This tribe, which later took its place on the stage of history with its Norman identity, carried out a publishing and invasive policy. Over time, they gained dominance in Italy. One of the leaders who made for himself in this tribe was undoubtedly Robert Guiscard.
