Background |
| |
Born the eldest son of Roger (Rogelio) Borja of the famous Basque mercenary brothers from Zaragoza in Northern Spain. To hide their identity as the influential ancestors of the later "Borja Popes", they were deliberately "remade" to be Norman Knights and French--both ridiculous and unsustainable lies. |
| |
By 1071, the Borja brothers of Robert "Guiscard" (which simply means sly and cunning) and Roger had conquered Palermo and much of Sicily with their Basque militia. Roger II was born while his father, Count Roger I of Sicily was away at the siege of Syracuse which surrendered the following year (1086). |
| |
In June 1101, his father died and young Roger Borja became the new Count of Sicily at just 16. In 1122, Roger II launched a major offensive to captured the remaining towns in Apulia and Calabria taking Montescaglioso. When William of Apulia died in July 1127, Roger claimed all his lands and possessions as the Duke of Apulia and Calabria. |
| |
Then on Christmas Day 1130 Roger was crowned King of Sicily. |
| |
In 1130, the Duchy of Amalfi revolted and in 1131, Roger sent John of Palermo across the Strait of Messina to join up with a royal troop from Apulia and Calabria and march on Amalfi by land while George of Antioch blockaded the town by sea and set up a base on Capri. Amalfi soon capitulated. |
| |
By 1134 Roger installed his second son Alfonso as Prince of Capua and his eldest as Duke of Apulia. |
