  "Malaterra names "Fresendis" as the second wife of Tancred de Hauteville. A MYTH, NOT BASED ON ANY EVIDENCE, emerged in the 16th century to the effect that both wives of Tancred de Hauteville were daughters of Richard I Duke of Normandy."

  See below a Danish text, here first in English (and about the Bayeaux Tapestry):
  With his second wife, Fressenda (or Fredesenda), he had seven more sons and at least one daughter:
  Robert Guiscard de Hauteville, count of Apulia and Calabria (1057), then duke of Apulia, Calabria and Sicily (d. 1085)
  Mauger, (d. 1064), count of the Capitanate (part of the Province of Foggia, within Apulia)
  William, count of the Principate (d. 1080)
  Aubrey (Alberic or Alvared, Alveredus in Latin, sometimes called Alvred or Alfred) (stayed in Normandy)
  Humbert (Hubert) (stayed in Normandy)
  Tancred (stayed in Normandy)
  Roger de Hauteville, count of Sicily from 1062 (d. 1101)
  Fressenda, who married Richard I (dead in 1078), count of Aversa and prince of Capua

  The Bayeux Tapestry or La telle du conquestis an embroidered cloth nearly 70 metres long and 50 centimetres tall, which depicts the events leading up to the Norman conquest of England concerning William, Duke of Normandy, and Harold, Earl of Wessex, later King of England, and culminating in the Battle of Hastings. It is thought to date to the 11th century, within a few years after the battle. It tells the story from the point of view of the conquering Normans.
  According to Sylvette Lemagnen, conservator of the tapestry, in her 2005 book La Tapisserie de Bayeux:
  The Bayeux tapestry is one of the supreme achievements of the Norman Romanesque .... Its survival almost intact over nine centuries is little short of miraculous ... Its exceptional length, the harmony and freshness of its colours, its exquisite workmanship, and the genius of its guiding spirit combine to make it endlessly fascinating.[4]
  The tapestry consists of some fifty scenes with Latin tituli, embroidered on linen with coloured woollen yarns. It is likely that it was commissioned by Bishop Odo, William's half-brother, and made in England-not Bayeux-in the 1070s. In 1729 the hanging was rediscovered by scholars at a time when it was being displayed annually in Bayeux Cathedral. The tapestry is now exhibited at the Musée de la Tapisserie de Bayeux in Bayeux, Normandy, France.
  The designs on the Bayeux Tapestry are embroidered rather than woven, so that it is not technically a tapestry. Nevertheless, it has always been referred to as a tapestry until recent years when the name "Bayeux Embroidery" has gained ground among certain art historians. The tapestry can be seen as a perfect example of secular Norman art. Tapestries adorned both churches and wealthy houses in Medieval Western Europe, though at 0.5 by 68.38 metres (1.6 by 224.3 ft, and apparently incomplete) the Bayeux Tapestry is exceptionally large. Only the figures and decoration are embroidered, on a background left plain, which shows the subject very clearly and was necessary to cover large areas.
  On 18 January 2018, French President Emmanuel Macron announced that the Bayeux Tapestry would be loaned to Britain for public display. It is expected to be exhibited at the British Museum in London from 2022. It will be the first time that the Tapestry has left France in 950 years

  The foundation legend of the Hauteville family traces them from Tancred de Hautville and his two wives, Muriella and Frédésende, both supposedly daughters of Richard I of Normandy. However, the church at the time prohibited remarriage to a former spouse's sibling, and there are no records from Normandy that name either of these women. Most modern scholars have dismissed the connection to the Norman rulers as an invention in order to elevate the otherwise obscure family founder of the dynasty that would later rule in Italy.
