This dissertation proposes that Medieval Sicily represents a case study that is difficult to reconcile with the prevailing paradigm. This period reveals important complications to prevailing ideas about the relationship between Christian elites and Islamic culture as Europe entered the High Middle ages. It suggests that Medieval Sicily should occupy a more prominent place in accounts of this dynamic. It offers a unique opportunity to explore the way in which Christian kings projected their power upon a principally non-Christian populace, and, in turn, the way in which the religious practices and semiotic language of the island's people affected the way the ruling aristocracy conceived of itself. Unlike other Christian kingdoms, the strength of the Sicilian crown was dependent on its ability to deploy Muslim administrators and soldiers to counterbalance the strength of its own nobility or its various foreign foes.
