520    The Norman's conquering of the known world was a 
       phenomenon unlike anything Europe had seen up to that 
       point in history. They emerged early in the tenth century 
       but had disappeared from world affairs by the mid-
       thirteenth century. Yet in that time they had conquered 
       England, Ireland, much of Wales and parts of Scotland. 
       They also founded a new Mediterranean kingdom in southern 
       Italy and Sicily, as well as a Crusader state in the Holy 
       Land and in North Africa. Moreover, they had an 
       extraordinary ability to adapt as time and place dictated,
       taking on the role of Norse invaders to Frankish crusaders,
       from Byzantine overlords to feudal monarchs. Drawing on 
       archaeological and historical evidence, Trevor Rowley 
       offers a comprehensive picture of the Normans and argues 
       that despite the short time span of Norman ascendancy, it 
       is clear that they were responsible for a permanent 
       cultural and political legacy
