Everything about Ralph Drengot totally explained
Rudolph Drengot was one of the
Drengot family of
Norman adventureres who came to
Southern Italy with his brothers,
Gilbert,
Asclettin,
Osmond, and
Ranulf.
The Drengots arrived in Italy in
1017 to support
Melus of Bari in his rebellion against the
Catapanate. According to some sources, they stopped in
Rome on the way and Rudolph had an audience with
Pope Benedict VIII. Whatever the case, they aided Melus until their defeat at the
Battle of Cannae (1018).
After this, Melus went north to
Bamberg to meet the
Emperor Henry II. Rudolph accompanied him. It is certain that Rudolph had an opportunity to then meet with the pope. He returned to the south on the emperor's expedition, after Melus' death, and was installed at
Comino under one of Melus' nephews, a count. Rudolph then led some Normans back to
Normandy.
