Wikipedia's article on the Emirate of Sicily, community-edited. Reliable for the standard, well documented arc: the Aghlabid landing at Mazara del Vallo in 827, the Kalbid-era flourishing with roughly half the island Muslim by the Norman conquest around 1060 to 1091, the lifting of royal protection after William II's 1189 death, and Frederick II's deportation of the remaining Muslim population to Lucera from 1223 through the 1240s; not the right source for a contested claim about the Lucera community's later fate after deportation.
