Description

This volume dives deep into the turbulent civil life of the medieval Kingdom of Naples, tracing the fragile balance of power that defined the reign of William I. It highlights how internal discord among the barons and court officials often eclipsed external wars, turning intrigue and rebellion into the era’s dominant drama. Listeners will hear a vivid portrait of a realm where personal ambition and shifting loyalties reshaped governance.

Central to the narrative is the rise of Grand Admiral Majone of Bari, a charismatic yet ruthless figure who becomes the king’s closest confidant and the unofficial ruler of the kingdom. Through vivid accounts of conspiracies, imprisonments, and strategic marriages, the book reveals how Majone leveraged his influence to dominate the royal court while the young princes remain vulnerable. The author’s meticulous use of contemporary chronicles brings these power struggles to life, offering a compelling window into a pivotal but often overlooked chapter of southern Italian history.
