Not only that, it was the first major victory for Robert Guiscard, who would eventually rise to prominence as the leader of the Normans in the South. In terms of its implications, the Battle of Civitate had the same long-term political ramifications as had the Battle of Hastings in England and Northern Europe, a reorientation of power and influence into a Latin-Christendom world. 🚩 Help support HistoryMarche on Patreon and for as little as $1 per video get ad-free early access to our videos: https://www.patreon.com/historymarche 🚩 This video was produced in collaboration with Srpske Bitke.
