[2071] Robert Guiscard's brother is Roger, King of Sicily. Michael L. Kinney (flash@SLAC.Stanford.EDU) shared via email 30 June 1999: "Alberada was the first wife of Robert Guiscard ('the wily') de Hauteville, Duke of Apulia. They had only one child and that was Bohemond, one of the mightiest warriors of his time. This marriage was terminated for consaguinity (actually so he could marry into the di Salerno line.) The actual mother of Matilda was Sichelgaita (Sikelgaita) di Salerno." http://www.encyclopedia.com/html/R/Roger1.asp offers: "(Roger Guiscard), c.1031-1101, Norman conqueror of Sicily; son of Tancred de Hauteville. He went to Italy in 1058 to join his brother, Robert Guiscard, in conquering Apulia and Calabria from the Byzantines. Between 1061 and 1091 he took Sicily from the Arabs. After the fall (1072) of Palermo he became count of Sicily under Robert's suzerainty. Robert's death (1085) left Roger the most powerful Norman lord in S Italy, and he ruled the various ethnic groups in his feudal domain justly and tolerantly. In 1098, Roger was made papal legate. His son succeeded him as Roger II. Bibliography: See J. J. Norwich, The Other Conquest (1967)." Robert's titles were "Conte di Puglia dal1057 al 1059, 1° Duca di Puglia e Calabria dal 1059, Duca di Sicilia dal 1061; Ramo di Puglia e Antiochia." Cf. http://worldroots.com/brigitte/royal/bio/robertguiscardbio.html and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Guiscard and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Guiscard. http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salerno offers: "Nel 1076 Roberto il Guiscardo conquistò Salerno che divenne capitale dei domini normanni ovvero del ducato di Puglia e Calabria (titolo in precedenza assegnato a Melfi), che comprendeva tutta l'Italia meridionale. In questo periodo fu fatto costruire il duomo in stile arabo-normanno."

https://njscuba.net/shipbuildinghistory/us-comm-small/stonington.html offers: "Stonington ME - Stonington Yacht Basin was started by George, Cecil and Sheridan Billings in 1936. It was active in WWII and continued to build boats after the war. It went bankrupt in the 1960s but was bought and reopened by Sheridan's son Dick. It changed its name to Billings Diesel & Marine, Inc., and continues in business today, although it hasn't built a boat recently. Visit the company at billingsmarine.com. The yard has a spectacular location, on Moose Island, just to the west of Stonington. See it from the air on Google here. Note that there is a similarly named yard, Stonington Boat Works, in Stonington CT: this yard is not that yard." This article then lists the many ships built in this yard.
