Constantine has lost most of imperial Italy …

Years: 1062 - 1062

Constantine has lost most of imperial Italy to the Normans under Robert Guiscard, except for the territory around Bari, though a resurgence of interest in retaining Apulia occurs under his reign, and he appoints at least four catepans of Italy: Miriarch, Maruli, Sirianus, and Mabrica.

Duke Gisulf II of Salerno, now twenty-two, goes to Constantinople to negotiate with Emperor, naively trying to bring about an imperial counteroffensive against Robert, but the pro-Norman rebellion of his uncle Guy of Sorrento puts an end to the project.
