Join NOIAW member and native Staten Islander Dawn Marie Hayes, Associate Professor of European History at Montclair State University, for a presentation of the land of many of our forebears. Learn about the Hautevilles who conquered Sicily and southern Italy—a much-contested region laid claim to no less than Holy Roman Emperors, Byzantine Emperors and rulers of an Islamic Emirate with ties to a north African caliphate.
