A pact was signed between Robert Guiscard and Gisulf II of Salerno and Sigelgaita was part of the deal.

At such moments, charging into the fray, her long blonde hair streaming from beneath her helmet, deafening friend and foe alike with huge shouts of encouragement or imprecation, she must have looked--even if she did not altogether sound--worthy to take her place beside Brunnhilde herself. It is said that when her husband's troops took flight with fright during a fray with the Varangian guard of the Byzantium Empire, she took after the deserters with a spear. They quickly recovered themselves and chose to stand and fight the Varangian guard and their battle-axes rather than to face Sichelgaita and her spear. [A Short History of Byzantium, p. 252] Anna Comnena, chronicler of the Byzantine court and witness to the First Crusade, mentions a woman called Gaita who "went on campaign with her husband and when she donned armour was indeed a formidable sight." Anna recounts that Gaita stopped some men who were retreating from a battle: "As they continued to run, she grasped a long spear and charged at full gallop against them. It brought them to their senses and they went back to fight." [Medieval Woman Calendar, March 1999] b.c. 1030, d. 1089. Dau of Guimar IV of Salerno and Porpora de Tabellaria; m.
