Multiculturalism and Convivencia in Medieval Sicily ~ Robin Reich
Hello everyone, in this episode the wonderful and talented PhD Candidate Robin Reich guides us through the controversial term Convivencia, an inaccurate documentary called “The Ornament of the World” and then slowly turns us to Medieval Sicily and the complicated and fascinating society that grew out of Norman Sicily and especially under King Roger II of Sicily.
From discussing the complications of classifying groups and looking into divisions within various factions the Medieval world as we know it begins to become even more complicated as these Normans blend the Islamic, Latin and Orthodox world.

Helen Pluckrose outlines some of the arguments later explored in depth in her bestselling 2020 book, Cynical Theories (co-authored with James Lindsay). The essay charts the pernicious influence of postmodernist thinking on two generations of academics and activists. If you want to understand how we got to a place where microaggressions are denounced as violence but the brutal terrorism of an intifada is considered righteous, this is an important primer.
Iona Italia reads Helen Pluckrose’s essay published in Quillette: https://quillette.com/2024/05/07/how-french-intellectuals-ruined-the-west-foucault-lyotard-derrida/

And then there was the 'fitna' the discord, after the fall of Cordova and the Taifas or petty states that rose with the fall of the Caliphate. The rulers of the Taifas had nothing in common with each other other than the fact that each wanted to grab power for himself.

The question, for me, is not how the Muslims ruled for so long, but rather how it was that it took the Christians so long to prevail, could it be that it took that long or the Christians to get tired of killing each other? or did it have to do with the taking of Moorish castles, and moorish wives, and siring children, half moor, half Christian, with divided loyalties, and less than singleminded aggression toward people they were now related to….or allied with?

The Swabian king of Sicily, Frederick II called "Stupor Mundi" (wonder of the world); was a charismatic figure of his time (13th century); man of great culture (he spoke six languages), fond in art, literature, architecture, anatomy and more; even excellent diplomatic and politician! Check on yt: "Frederick II liked a strange, mysteriuos geometry"

The short mention about Frederich the II wasn't very accurate. In the end he was the closest to Roger the II, he did great, he tried to restore the multiculturalism that Roger II established, and he felt Sicily as his own place to the point that he chose to be buried in Palermo when he died.

The Manor in which she dismissed Roger I and his Brother Robert Guiscards commitment to latin Christianity is not reflected in Historical reality ! Was Robert not invested as ruler of Sicily by the pope long before he ever set foot on the island in a deliberate ploy by the pope to make Guiscard re-conquer the island for Christianity. Also the Greek Orthodox population very much identified Robert Guiscard and Roger I as Christian saviours from the Islamic yoke of the Emirs, let's not forget the Islamic occupation of Sicily was not benign, for example the entire Christian population of Enna was put to death by the Muslims when that city eventually fell to them. Point of fact Ibn Al Timnah who invited the Norman's to assist him in the civil war, was not betrayed by the Guiscard or Roger, he was in fact killed in battle by his chief Muslim rival Ibn Al Hawas. The inclination of commentator to be dismissive of all the positive attributes of the Norman conquerors and their hugely positive effect on the lives culture and architecture, dismissing it as some form European colonial cultural appropriation is entirely a false narrative which bares no Historical scrutiny. Probably some sort of anti Christian / western agenda is being promoted which is sad and a shame to try to deliberately malign the the unquestionably great achievements of such great Historical figures.

Il ne faut pas exagérer le multi-culturalisme des Rois Normands! Ceux- ci n'avaient eu de respect que pour la civilisation arabe. Après avoir combattu et tué férocement nombre de musulmans( dont la célèbre bataille de Cerami où 35 000 soldats furent tués), les Normands les ont progressivement chassés de Sicile, dont et surtout Frederic II, avant que les Rois Catholiques d'Espagne n'ordonnent l'expulsion des Juifs en 1492 achevant l'épuration ethnique de l'île.

As interesting as this discussion is, there are a surprising number of inaccuracies here. Just as one example, quite obviously William II was NOT a nephew of Roger II (he was a grandson). Also some of the speculation is a little bit out there. For example, at one point the expert wonders how someone like Roger II and his immediate family viewed themselves. Did they themselves as French? or Norwegian? Given 1131 is some 220 years after Rollo was granted land in Northern France, I think we can safely surmise that the siculo-Norman kings did NOT view themselves as being Norwegian!!

Her information is flawed and inaccurate. You didn't ask the tough questions. Perhaps because you have little knowledge of the subject…
