Out of all the posts I've seen discussing ways to (re)unite Italy sooner I've seen a conspicuous absence of unemployed Norman knights maneuvering their way into power in the north as they did in the south. Southern Italy had previously been divided in a manner comprable to the north, and it was the Normans who united it into the large and centralized Kingdom of Sicily.
Any reason why there isn't more discussion of a Norman unification of Italy?
