[Footnote !: A  band of Normans returning from the Holy Land
          had rescued the  city  of  Salerno  from  the  attack  of  a
          numerous fleet of  Saracens.   Gainar, the Lombard prince of
          Salerno wished to  retain  them in his service and take them
          into his pay.   They  answered,  "We fight for our religion,
          and not for  money."  Gaimar  entreated  them  to  send some
          Norman knights to  his  court.   This seems to have been the
          origin of the  connection  of  the  Normans with Italy.  See
          Histoire des Conquetes des Normands par Goutier d'Arc, l. i.
          c. i., Paris, 1830. - M.]
