Remembering King Roger II of Sicily

Statue of Ruggero II di Sicilia sculpted by Emilio Franceschi on the western facade of the Royal Palace in the Largo del Palazzo Reale in Naples

In memory of Roger the Norman (22 December, 1095 — 26 February, 1154), King of Sicily, we pray for the happy repose of his soul. Viva ‘o Rre!

Eternal rest grant unto His Majesty, O Lord and let perpetual light shine upon him. May his soul, and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen
