County of Sicily

  1. (historical) A Norman state, comprising Sicily, Malta and part of Calabria, founded in 1071 and succeeded in 1130 by the Kingdom of Sicily.
    Synonym: County of Sicily and Calabria
    The County of Sicily was created by Robert Guiscard in 1071 for his younger brother Roger Bosso.
    Having himself received the title Duke of Sicily (dux Siciliae) from Pope Nicholas II in 1059 as encouragement to reconquer the island from the Muslims, Guiscard in turn invested Roger with the title Count of Sicily in 1061 after the fall of Palermo—the capital of the Emirate of Sicily and future capital of the County of Sicily.
    On Christmas Day, 1130, Roger II of Sicily united the lands he had inherited―the County of Sicily, the Duchy of Apulia and Calabria and the Maltese Archipelago―to create the Kingdom of Sicily.
