Geoffrey, Count of Ragusa
Geoffrey of Ragusa was a son of Roger I, Count of Sicily. He was likely illegitimate.[1] It is not possible for this Geoffrey to be the same as his brother, also named Geoffrey, as this other Geoffrey was born by Roger I’s first or second marriage and is recorded as being a leper by Goffredo Malaterra.[2] In 1091, Geoffrey was granted the County of Ragusa by his father.[3]
Children
