Drogo of Hauteville succeeded his brother William as count, representing the Norman expansion into southern Italy. His murder in a church by agents of Argyrus marked one of the violent episodes in the Norman conquest of the region.
Description
An adult Norman nobleman with the dignified bearing appropriate to his rank. He wears the attire of an 11th century Norman count, though no specific physical features are described beyond his noble status. His presence suggests the authority of one who has inherited both title and the conflicts that accompany it.
