    Looks like Normans vs Moors, so probably is a battle in Sicily or Malta.

    They are indeed fighting against the Moors as Cope said, and there is a king involved. I also couldn't find a specific name of the battle, only when, where and who was involved. Answer that and I shall consider this a success.
