Roger II of Sicily sends Robert II …

Years: 1132 - 1132
June

Roger II of Sicily sends Robert II of Capua and Ranulf II of Alife to Rome in midsummer 1132 in a show of force in support of the antipope Anacletus.

While they are away, Roger's half-sister Matilda, the wife of Ranulf, flees to Roger, claiming abuse.

Simultaneously, Roger annexes Ranulf's brother's County of Avellino.

Ranulf demands the restitution of both wife and countship.

Both are denied, and Ranulf leaves Rome against orders, with Robert following.
