Abstract
The Normans are renowned for their feats of conquest during the Middle Ages, yet these feats are often only ascribed to that of the titular Dukes of Normandy, such as Rollo, William the Conqueror, and Robert Guiscard. They did not undertake these campaigns of conquest alone. Behind them stood a caste of Norman warriors that contributed massively to the history of Normandy from the early 10th century until the end of the 12th. The objective of this thesis is to trace the popular history of the Norman warrior-caste from their genesis as the ‘Northmen’ in the early 10th century, to their rapid assimilation within the Duchy of Normandy in the years that followed, through their conquest of southern Italy, and ultimately to what became of them after the period of Norman conquest.
