A Norman called William, but not that one! This episode looks at the Duchy of Apulia and Calabria, the Princes of Salerno, Sicily, the Pope, the Normans, and the psychology of dead people yet again (and I haven't even got Michael Molcher to rein me in this time!).
The book this time is "The Ingoldsby Legends" by Thomas Ingoldsby (AKA R. H. Barham), and the tea du jour is Clipper's English Breakfast in bags.
