Led by Robert Guiscard and his sons, Bohemond and Roger Borsa, Normans from southern Italy invade Byzantine territories in western Greece (1081), Macedonia (1083), and Corfu(1083). Alexius I Commnenus wins the support of Venice by granting it extensive trading privileges (1082), and in 1085 the Byzantine and Venetian fleets defeat the Normans near Corfu, a loss that, with the death of Robert, convinces the Normans to abandon their invasion.
