Norman king of Sicily who established the first compulsory medical examinations for European doctors. Roger, whose reign began in 1130, waged a successful war against the Byzantine Empire, created a civil service, and made his capital at Palermo a center of culture. In 1140, the year when he established the examination system, he granted the medical school at Salerno his official protection.
