England was only one of the countries to be settled or conquered by the Normans. Largely as professional soldiers, they penetrated southern Italy and the island of Sicily, made their way to Spain, served in the forces of the Byzantine Empire, and founded principalities in Asia Minor.
In this programme, the last of the series, two historians describe the part played by the Normans in the Mediterranean, and show how - in contrast with the permanence of their contribution to English history - the Normans in Europe left little behind them.
