Battle of Montemaggiore (original) (raw)
The Battle of Montemaggiore (or Monte Maggiore) was fought on 4 May 1041, on the river Ofanto near Cannae in Byzantine Italy, between Lombard-Norman rebel forces and the Byzantine Empire. The Norman William Iron Arm led the offence, which was part of a greater revolt, against Michael Dokeianos, the Byzantine Catepan of Italy. Suffering heavy losses in the battle, the Byzantines were eventually defeated, and the remaining forces retreated to Bari. Dokeianos was replaced and transferred to Sicily as a result of the battle. The victory provided the Normans with increasing amounts of resources, as well as a renewed surge of knights joining the rebellion.

(en) La bataille de Montemaggiore (ou Monte Maggiore) se déroula le 4 mai 1041, près de la rivière Aufide, à proximité de Cannes dans l'Italie byzantine. Elle opposa les forces rebelles composées de Normands et de Lombards aux forces de l'Empire byzantin. Le Normand Guillaume Bras-de-Fer lança les hostilités qui se placent dans le cadre d'une plus grande révolte contre Michel Dokeianos, le catépan byzantin d'Italie. Lors de la bataille, les Byzantins souffrirent de lourdes pertes et furent vaincus. Les forces restantes se replièrent vers Bari et Dokeianos fut remplacé et envoyé en Sicile après la bataille. Celle-ci permit aux Normands d'acquérir d'importantes ressources qui poussèrent un nombre substantiel de chevaliers à rejoindre les rangs de la rébellion. (fr) La battaglia di Montemaggiore è stata combattuta sulla modesta altura di monte Maggiore il 4 maggio 1041, a breve distanza dalla riva sinistra del fiume Ofanto, in una landa lontana da qualsiasi centro abitato, in prossimità di alcuni tratturi utilizzati durante la transumanza degli armenti, nel settore meridionale della Capitanata. Fu la seconda delle grandi battaglie campali nell'Apulia, combattute dai Bizantini contro gli alleati Normanni e Longobardi, dopo la battaglia di Olivento. Nella zona esiste la Torre Alemanna, un complesso monumentale che risale al XIII secolo, situato presso il Borgo Libertà, frazione di Cerignola. Veduta della Torre Alemanna, costruita nel XIII secolo a breve distanza dal luogo della battaglia di Montemaggiore. Il luogo non va confuso con l'omonimo monte situato nella stessa provincia di Foggia, ma nel comune di Orsara di Puglia.
