Interesting. At several locations in their newly acquired south Italian and Sicilian domains the early Hautevilles Robert Guiscard and Roger I arranged for monastic cathedral chapters run by Cluniac Benedictines of the Cavensian community. The instances that come to mind right away are Venosa in the duchy of Apulia (where Guiscard intended the cathedral to be his family's burial church), Mileto (Roger I's capital in Calabria), and Catania. I wonder where they got the idea to do this?
