Fulco of Basacers

Fulco of Basacers (floruit 1083–1120) was an Italo-Norman knight and landholder with considerable possessions in the Val di Crati in Calabria.

The seat of his lordship was "Brahalla", a place or castle that no longer exists.

[1] His first appearance in the historical record is in a Greek charter of 1083, where he is named Βαλσωχερεζ (Balsocherez).

[1] He was powerful enough to mint copper coins (follari) of his own, bearing the inscription FVLCVI DE BASACERS beneath a cross on one side, and two outward-facing busts with a cross between them and the letters RVC on the other.

[2] The busts probably represent Fulco and his lord, Roger Borsa, who is probably referenced by RVC.
