De rebus gestis Rogerii Calabriae et Siciliae comitis et Roberti Guiscardi ducis fratris eius (1075 - 1100) Geoffrey Malaterra |
| Quotation |
Tam pomposo plus solito exercitu comes Apulos fines visum intendit, maxime quia Apuli, expeditionibus aliquo annorum curriculo desueti, corpus multis plagis et diutinis laboribus fatigando, quin recreando, sibi potius indulgere, quam expeditionibus iterum assuescendo, insudare nitebantur. |
| Translation |
With an even more imposing army than usual, the count then directed his attention towards the frontiers of Apulia, not least because the Apulians had not made any expeditions for quite a few years, and had once again to accustom their bodies to the burdens and to the hard and lengthy work of such expeditions rather than trying to exhaust themselves through the pursuits of leisure, or rather self indulgence. |
