Synopsis

In 1061, a group of Norman mercenaries, led by Roger de Hauteville, a son of a noble family from Hauteville-la-Guichard, a village in the Normandy bocage, arrived on the Sicilian coast. Roger and his forces had been commissioned by the Pope to reclaim the island from the Arabs, who had taken control of it in 831. Over the course of thirty years, these warriors succeeded in their mission, and in 1071 they entered Palermo. Upon achieving this, Roger became an enlightened ruler, utilizing the efficient local Arab administration, particularly in tax collection, to build one of the most prosperous and advanced kingdoms of the era.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 18

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
