===Norman expansion===
[[File:Norman Conquests copy (1).jpg|thumb|A chronological map of the Norman Conquests, including England (1066–1485, not always in personal union with Normandy), Normandy (911–1204), [[Norman conquest of southern Italy|southern Italy and Sicily]] (1030–1263), [[Kingdom of Africa|parts of Africa around Tripoli]] (1146–1158), and the [[Crusader state]] of the [[Principality of Antioch]] along with associated vassals, the Principality of Ancyra (1073–1075),   the [[Principality of Tarragona]] (1129–1173), and the [[Kingdom of the Canary Islands]].]]
Aside from the conquest of England and the subsequent invasions of Wales and Ireland, the Normans expanded into other areas. Norman families, such as that of [[Tancred of Hauteville]], [[Rainulf Drengot]] and [[Guimond de Moulins]] played important parts in the [[Norman conquest of southern Italy|conquest of southern Italy]] and the [[Crusades]].

The [[Drengot family|Drengot]] lineage, de Hauteville's sons [[William Iron Arm]], [[Drogo of Hauteville|Drogo]], and [[Humphrey of Hauteville|Humphrey]], [[Robert Guiscard]] and [[Roger I of Sicily|Roger the Great Count]] progressively claimed territories in southern Italy until founding the [[Kingdom of Sicily]] in 1130. They also carved out a place for themselves and their descendants in the [[Crusader states]] of [[Asia Minor]] and the [[Holy Land]].

The 14th-century explorer [[Jean de Béthencourt]] established a [[Kingdom of the Canary Islands|kingdom]] in the [[Canary Islands]] in 1404. He received the title King of the Canary Islands from Pope [[Pope Innocent VII|Innocent VII]] but recognized [[Henry III of Castile]] as his overlord, who had provided him with military and financial aid during the conquest.
