The Rogers keep popping up in my merge center. Somehow I am related:

I have no idea if it's legit or not.

So, a Rogers as a Sicilian king? That....kind of doesn't make sense considering most Italians don't have Rogers as a last name.

Roger as a first name, yes - there were at least two Norman rulers of Sicily by that name:

Roger I (c. 1040[1] – 22 June 1101) nominally just a "count"

Roger II (22 December 1095[1] – 26 February 1154) under whom the Norman kingdom of Sicily reached its zenith (and there was nowhere to go but down)

These are the guys the Fitz Roger family in England supposedly descend from.

They were originally “Norman adventurers.”

Yes I linked to them at the beginning of the thread. Back at the original question. Lol.

Roger

With her fancy COA?

Place of death - is she (with a man’s name) supposed to be related to

MANFRED von Hohenstaufen, son of Emperor FRIEDRICH II & his mistress Bianca Lancia (Venosa 1232-killed in battle Benevento 26 Feb 1266).

I like the “fast facts” here! :)
