Conquest by Jack Ludlow

In his author's note at the back of the book Jack Ludlow wonders why the de Hauteville familly has not been the subject of books and films before his own trilogy. How true. Tancred de Hauteville had ten sons all of which he trained to be fearsome warriors. Denied employment by the Duke of Normandy one after another they travelled to Italy to hire themselves out as mercenaries. Thirty years later they were undisputed masters of the whole of southern Italy and Sicily. In three volumes - Mercenaries, Warriors and Conquest - Ludlow has taken the threads of their history and woven a thrilling saga that takes us every step of their bloodstained path to power. This final volume ends as they complete the overthrow of the Byzantines in Apulia and have broken the power of the Saracens in Sicily surely Ludlow cannot leave the story of this incredible familly here. One more volume Mr Ludlow, please!
