DNA history: Opening a tomb of four great warriors in Italy

We’re in the final stages of opening a tomb in Southern Italy with four famous Norman mercenary brothers. One week left until the skeletons of these great warriors emerge.

The Hauteville family was one of the greatest mercenary families in history, and probably the most successfull one. They became kings and lords of Southern Italy, and now we will extract their DNA to see where they originally came from, and who is related to them today!
