For history I am filling out a map and need the routes of the Normans and Bretons. I can't find them anywhere. If you could find a map with the labled routes that would be great.

The Danes invaded England, but you're not interested in that. The Normans sailed up the Seine River and established themselves in what is now called Normandy. Their leader, Rollo, was recognized by a king of the West Franks of that day as duke of Normandy.

The Roman Empire no longer existed in medieval times. In 1071, Normans conquered Byzantine territory in the south of Italy and Sicily, but they were coming from the French duchy.

My first reaction was the same as Steve ge..

I was thinking of the Normans in Normandy, and neglecting Sicily, and the Italian invasions.

I have found a website that talks about Tancred and his brothers and I am attaching it. The map shown doesn't illustrate routes into the country, but it does seem to give you the idea, with the Normans asked by the Pope to try and drive the Byzantines out of southeastern Italy.
