Kingdom of Sicily
The Kingdom of Sicily was founded by the Norman ruler Roger II in 1130, after the Norman conquest of Muslim Sicily. Its Norman court in Palermo mixed Latin, Greek and Arabic culture; the geographer al-Idrisi worked there. Later ruled by Hohenstaufen, Aragonese and Spanish kings, it merged with Naples into the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies in 1816.
