The early Middle Ages show a wide documentation related to Montescaglioso, which will also touch the Norman domination, with Roberto - nephew of the most famous Guiscardo, progenitor of the Altavilla - as the first Norman feudal lord.
This presence will lead to an important urban development and a significant increase in population. Meanwhile, in addition to the Benedictine Abbey of San Michele Arcangelo (1079), other monasteries are also established.
