Battle of Misilmeri
Battle in 1069 in Sicily
The Battle of Misilmeri was fought in 1068 just outside Palermo during the Norman conquest of Sicily. The battle was fought between a raiding Norman force and a Muslim army consisting of both Kalbid Sicilians and Zirid Africans. The battle resulted in an important Norman victory as it led to the abandonment of the Kalbids by their Zirid allies and opened the way for the Norman conquest of Palermo in 1072.
