Guiscard, to guarantee Apulia against attack from …
Years: 1078 - 1078
Guiscard, to guarantee Apulia against attack from the new rulers of the Empire, wants the territories on the Adriatic coast of the Balkan Peninsula, and he begins to build a large navy.
Michael's expulsion and Helen's confinement reawaken his unappeased spirit of adventure and hastens his long-considered expedition.
Now his goal is even more ambitious: to march to Constantinople and crown himself emperor in place of the deposed Michael.
