Jonathan, Count Of Carinola
Jonathan I (died 1094) was the youngest son of Richard I of Capua. According to the ''Chronicon Amalfitanorum'', however, he was a son of Jordan I, who was actually his brother, and married a sister of Roger I of Sicily, which may be accurate. During the reign of his brother, he was created Count of Carinola. After Jordan's death, he defended Sora from the counts of Aquino (1091). His son became Duke Richard III of Gaeta.

Carinola
Carinola is a '' comune'' (municipality) in the Province of Caserta in the Italian region Campania, located c. northwest of Naples, c. northwest of Caserta, and c. southeast of Rome. Carinola borders the following municipalities: Falciano del Massico, Francolise, Sessa Aurunca, Teano. Etymology There are multiple proposed etymological origins for Carinola. One posits the name derives from the Greek toponym ''Kalinium'', the place where Carinola was founded. The second is that it derives from Calinolum, which comes from the Roman colony of ''Calenum''. This explanation, as claimed by local historians Luca Menna and Salvatore Theo, would then be the basis for both the commune of Carinola and the nearby Calvi Risorta. In reality, Carinola most likely derives from ''Kalinium''. The first mention of Calinolum being the root of Carinola is an error in transcription by Paolo Diacono, who should have transcribed the adjective Calenum, referring to Ancient ''Cales'' (today's Cal ...

Sora, Lazio
Sora () is a town and ''comune'' of Lazio, Italy, in the province of Frosinone. It is built in a plain on the banks of the Liri. This part of the valley is the seat of some important manufacturing, especially of paper mills. The area around Sora is famous for the costumes of its peasants. History Sora, an ancient Volscian town, was thrice captured by the Romans, in 345, 314, and 305 BCE, before they managed, in 303, by means of a colony 4,000 strong, to confirm its annexation as a Latin colony. In 209, it was one of the colonies that refused further contributions to the war against Hannibal. By the ''lex Julia'', it became a municipium, but under Augustus, it was colonized by soldiers of the legio IV Sorana, which had been mainly enrolled there. It belonged technically to '' Latium adiectum''. Located in the ''Ducatus Romanus'' under the authority of the pope during the early Dark Ages, it was captured by the Lombards of Gisulf I of Benevento in 705. The castle of ''Sore ...

Counts Of Aquino
Count (feminine: countess) is a historical title of nobility in certain European countries, varying in relative status, generally of middling rank in the hierarchy of nobility. Pine, L. G. ''Titles: How the King Became His Majesty''. New York: Barnes & Noble, 1992. p. 73. . The etymologically related English term "county" denoted the territories associated with the countship. Definition The word ''count'' came into English from the French ''comte'', itself from Latin ''comes''—in its accusative ''comitem''—meaning “companion”, and later “companion of the emperor, delegate of the emperor”. The adjective form of the word is "comital". The British and Irish equivalent is an earl (whose wife is a "countess", for lack of an English term). In the late Roman Empire, the Latin title ''comes'' denoted the high rank of various courtiers and provincial officials, either military or administrative: before Anthemius became emperor in the West in 467, he was a military ''comes ...

Richard III Of Gaeta
Richard III (died 1140/1), also known as Richard of Caleno, was the Norman count of Carinola and last quasi-independent Duke of Gaeta, ruling from 1121 to his death. From 1113, he was regent of Gaeta for his cousin or nephew, Duke Jonathan; in 1121 he succeeded him. As duke he was a nominal vassal of the Princes of Capua, to whom he was related. Family Richard was the son of Count Bartholomew of Carinola, as attested by Peter the Deacon, who calls him ' in his '. Richard himself refers to his father in the grandiose title he used in charters in November 1123 and November 1127: "Richard, ordained by divine clemency consul and duke of the aforesaid city f Gaeta son of Lord Bartholomew of old, descended from the princes of Capua and the counts of Carinola of pious memory." Bartholomew was a brother of Prince Jordan I of Capua and Count Jonathan I of Carinola. Richard was thus a member of the extended Drengot family.

Ferdinand Chalandon
Ferdinand Chalandon (February 10, 1875 – October 31, 1921) was a French medievalist and Byzantinist. Chalandon's work remains the most substantial study of the Normans in Italy and though the details of what he wrote a hundred years ago have in places been modified, it remains the single most important work available to historians. Being a former member of the École française de Rome, Ferdinand Chalandon was a winner of the Grand prix Gobert in 1909. Publications * ''Essai sur le règne d'Alexis Ier Comnène (1081-1118)''.

1 (one, unit, unity) is a number representing a single or the only entity. 1 is also a numerical digit and represents a single unit of counting or measurement. For example, a line segment of ''unit length'' is a line segment of length 1. In conventions of sign where zero is considered neither positive nor negative, 1 is the first and smallest positive integer. It is also sometimes considered the first of the infinite sequence of natural numbers, followed by 2, although by other definitions 1 is the second natural number, following 0. The fundamental mathematical property of 1 is to be a multiplicative identity, meaning that any number multiplied by 1 equals the same number. Most if not all properties of 1 can be deduced from this. In advanced mathematics, a multiplicative identity is often denoted 1, even if it is not a number. 1 is by convention not considered a prime number; this was not universally accepted until the mid-20th century. Additionally, 1 is the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Italo-Normans
The Italo-Normans ( it, Italo-Normanni), or Siculo-Normans (''Siculo-Normanni'') when referring to Sicily and Southern Italy, are the Italian-born descendants of the first Norman conquerors to travel to southern Italy in the first half of the eleventh century. While maintaining much of their distinctly Norman piety and customs of war, they were shaped by the diversity of southern Italy, by the cultures and customs of the Greeks, Lombards, and Arabs in Sicily. History Normans first arrived in Italy as pilgrims, probably on their way to or returning from either Rome or Jerusalem, or from visiting the shrine at Monte Gargano, during the late tenth and early eleventh centuries. In 1017, the Lombard lords in Apulia recruited their assistance against the dwindling power of the Byzantine Catapanate of Italy. They soon established vassal states of their own and began to expand their conquests until they were encroaching on the Lombard principalities of Benevento and Capua, Sar ...
