=== Parentage questioned ===
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.
Family 1: Tancred d'Hauteville, b. 980 in Hauteville, Manche, Normandy, Kingdom of France d. 1041 in Hauteville-la-Guichard, Manche, Normandie, Kingdom of France
