[edit] History

At Galluccio in 1139, Roger III, Duke of Apulia ambushed Pope Innocent II and his light body of troops with only a thousand knights. The pope and his entourage were captured. Three days later, on July 25, by the Treaty of Mignano, Innocent confirmed Roger II of Sicily as King, Roger III as Duke, and Alfonso as Prince of Capua.
