Although I think it was fewer than that that bascially did conquer sicily?

Yes one of the stunning points in history how so few have such a dramatic impact.

OK, Ive condensed much of this thread and added it to many of the Lancer lists in the FoG Wiki on madaxeman.com..

If anyone has any bright list-specific ideas, feel free to add them

200 were the knights, if I remember well. The army was about 500 (I found in wikipedia). They free Sicilia from Arabs, but they reigned over southern Italy with a population of Christians and Muslims that lived in peace. This tradition was continued by Federico II di Svevia (Stupor Mundi) who reigned over a population of Christians, Muslims and Jews and all lived in peace in Southern Italy (Sicilia e Puglia above all) and all worshipped their God. It seems we would have needing of a Federico II in our time.
