  Tancred of Hauteville (c. 980 - 1041) was an 11th-century Norman petty lord about whom little is known. He was a minor noble near Coutances in the Cotentin. Tancred is also known by the achievements of his twelve sons.
  
  Various legends arose about Tancred which have no supporting contemporary evidence that has survived the ages.
  
  Ancestors
  The Hauteville family was said by later traditions to descend from Hiallt, a Norseman active in 920, who is credited with founding the village of Hialtus Villa (Hauteville) in the Cotentin of Normandy. Tancred is a supposed descendant of Hiallt, from whom the village of Hauteville and the family drew their name. This cannot be identified with certainty, and some modern scholarship favours Hauteville-la-Guichard over Hauteville in Cotentin.
  
  Family and descendants
  With his two wives, he had twelve sons and several daughters, almost all of whom left Normandy for Southern Italy and acquired some prominence there.
  
  With his first wife, Muriella, he had five sons and one daughter:
  
  Serlo (stayed in Normandy)
  Beatrix (d. 1101), married first to Armand de Mortain, son of Robert, Count of Eu, and second to a Roger (family unknown)
  Geoffrey, lord of Hauteville, count of Loritello (d. 1063)
  William Iron Arm, count of Apulia and Calabria (d. 1046)
  Drogo, count of Apulia and Calabria (d. 1051)
  Humphrey, count of Apulia and Calabria (d. 1057)
  According to the Italian chronicler of the Norman feats in the south, Amatus of Montecassino, Tancred was a morally upright man, who would not carry on a sinful relationship and being unable also to live out his life in perfect celibacy, he remarried.
  
  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
  Other Tancred of Hauteville
  Tancred's great-grandson, also bearing the same name, Tancred, Prince of Galilee, was a leader in the First Crusade. The line of descent was:
  
  Tancred the elder
  son Robert Guiscard (Duke Robert d'Hauteville)
  granddaughter Emma of Hauteville

Contemporary sources are contradictory concerning Tancred's origin, varying from "of quite distinguished family" in Malaterra[68] to "of obscure origin" in the Alexeiad[69]. He is described as "one of the household of the count of the Normans Richard II" by Geoffrey Malaterra, who recounts a colourful story of Tancred having killed a boar which had been flushed out by the count during a hunting expedition[70]. Hereditary seigneur de Hauteville-le-Guichard, near Coutances, Normandy[71]. Orderic Vitalis records that “Tancredus de Alta-Villa” originated “de pago Constantino”[72]. m firstly MORIELLA, daughter of ---. Malaterra names "Moriellam" as the first wife of Tancred[73]. 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[74]. m secondly FRESSENDA, daughter of --- (-bur Church of St Eufemia, near Lampetia[75]). Malaterra names "Fresendis" as the second wife of Tancred[76]. 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[77]. Orderic Vitalis records that “Fredesendis uxor Tancredi de Alta-Villa” was buried at “ecclesiam Sanctæ Eufemiæ...super littus Adriatici maris”[78]. The names and order of birth of the children of Tancred de Hauteville are uncertain, although there appears to be unanimity among the various sources about their number. The Annals of Romoald name Tancred's twelve sons (in order) "Sarnus qui miles insignis extitit…comes Coffridus…Drogo comes…Guillelmus ipse comes…Brachiferreus prenomine dictus…comes Unfridus…Malgerius comes probus atque famosus…Robertus Guiscardus…Alberedis armis strenuous…Tancredus…Wilhelmus de Sancto Nicandro…Frumentinus…Rogerius Sicilie comes" and in addition state that he had three daughters (unnamed)[79]. Malaterra names (in order) "Gulielmum…cognomine Ferrea-branchis, Drogonem, Humfredum, Gaufredum et Serlonem" as five sons of Tancred by his first wife and "Robertus…Guiscardus…Malgerius, Willelmus, Alveredus, Hubertus, Tancredus, Rogerius" as his seven sons by his second wife[80]. The name differences between these two sources are not difficult to reconcile: presumably "Sarnus" and "Serlo" are the same, and even "Frumentinus" and "Hubertus" bear some similarity. It is possible that the variations are due solely to errors in transcribing unclear script. The differences in the order of birth of the sons are less easy to reconcile. The sources only agree that Roger was the youngest son. The order in which Tancred's sons by his second wife are shown here follows Malaterra. However, the order of birth of his sons by his first wife follows Romoald, with one minor adjustment, for the reasons explained below. Tancred & his first wife had six children: 1. SERLON de Hauteville ([1005/10]-after [1027/35]). 2. BEATRIX de Hauteville ([1005/10]-1101). 3. GODEFROI de Hauteville (-1063). 4.

ONFROI de Hauteville ([1015/20]-spring 1057, bur Monastery of Santissima Trinità, Venosa). Tancred & his [first/second] wife had one child: 7. [daughter . The Annals of Romoald state that Tancred had three daughters without naming them or stating by which marriage they were born[238]. If Orderic Vitalis is correct in saying that "Geoffroy di Conversano" was nepos of Robert "Guiscard" Duke of Apulia, his mother must have been the Duke's sister[239]. This is confirmed when Malaterra records that "Gaufridum de Conversano neptem suis [Roberti ducis]…filius…sororis suæ"[240]. The Gesta Roberti Wiscardi names "Robertus de Scabioso Monte comes…Gosfredi frater, et ambo orti germana fuerant ducis"[241]. Guerrieri highlights that "Gosfredi" in this passage has been identified as Godefroi Conte di Conversano but that it is not possible to confirm whether this is correct[242]. If the speculation is right, this daughter was the same person as [Beatrix], wife of Armand de Mortain (see above). m --- [di Conversano], son of ---.] Tancred & his second wife had eight children: 8.

   Note: What happened to Tancred’s other sons? Nov 25 2013 Published by lars under Aubrey,Drogo,Fressenda,Geoffrey,Hastings,Hauteville,Humbert,Humphrey, Listener Question, Mauger,Muriella,Normans,Roger,Serlo,Sicily,Tancred,William Iron-Arm,William the Conqueror Tancred de Hauteville’s claim to fame is his remarkable fecundity. He produced at least twelve sons, three of whom (William Iron-Arm, Robert Guiscard, and Roger the Great Count) would achieve nearly legendary status and go on to found the richest kingdom of the medieval Mediterranean world. But what happened to the other nine? All but three of them eventually made their way to southern Italy. Since Tancred had two wives (Muriella and Fressenda), the family was effectively divided into two generations. Tancred’s first wife (Muriella) gave birth to five sons: Serlo, Geoffrey, William, Drogo, and Humphrey, while his second wife bore the next seven: Robert, Mauger, William (the younger), Aubrey, Humbert, Tancred, and Roger. The oldest boy Serlo (some sources call him the youngest) displayed the family penchant for fighting at an early age. After killing his neighbor over an insult, he was exiled for three years, but by 1041 had rehabilitated his image enough to inherit his father’s entire estate. This meant that the other boys had to seek elsewhere for their fortune, which started the exodus south. Geoffrey left first with his half-brothers Mauger and William (the only two who seem to have gotten along with the older generation), and was present at the battle of Civitate where the Normans decisively defeated the Pope’s forces. All three of them were rewarded for their part in the struggle. Geoffrey was made Count of Apulia which he held until his death around 1071 (the same year his oldest full brother Robert Guiscard conquered Bari and evicted the Byzantines from Italy). His younger son Ralph crossed over to England with the Conqueror and was present at the Battle of Hastings. He would eventually settle in Wiltshire and found the English branch of the family. Mauger got the old Byzantine Province of Foggia, but he didn’t enjoy it for long. He died shortly after a campaign against the Byzantines and his property went to the younger William who already ruled the Principality of Salerno. William proved quite successful- and by some accounts survived into the twelfth century- but his most important act was to invite his youngest brother Roger to Italy. The most prestigious of the boys (after the Iron-Arm, Guiscard, and Great Count) were Drogo and Humphrey who both served as Count of Apulia and Calabria. Drogo inherited the position from William-Iron-Arm, and when he in turn was assassinated, Humphrey took up the mantle, triumphantly leading the Normans in the battle of Civitate. Humphrey did his best to contain the ambitions of his half-brother Guiscard, but when that proved impossible he entrusted his sons to him. In the best Norman tradition Guiscard promptly confiscated the inheritances and left the boys to fend for themselves. The last two brothers- Aubrey and Tancred- seem to have stayed in Normandy, perhaps inheriting what was left of the family estate. As a fitting endnote, the oldest brother’s son (Serlo) made his fortune helping the youngest brother (his uncle Roger) conquer Sicily. Young Serlo fought notably for at least twelve years before he fell in an ambush. The place where he was killed- a large flat rock carved with a simple cross- was named after him for nearly nine centuries before a construction firm blew it up in the 1960’s.

   Note: Tancrède de Hauteville (latin : Tancredus de Altavilla ; italien : Tancredi d'Altavilla, né vers la fin du xe siècle - † vers 1041) est un seigneur normand du xie siècle, passé à la postérité pour être le père des frères Hauteville qui firent la conquête de l'Italie méridionale sur les Byzantins (1040-1071), de la Sicile (1061-1091) et de l'île de Malte (1090) sur les Musulmans, tout en supplantant la vieille noblesse lombarde issue des principautés de Bénévent, de Salerne et de Capoue. À la faveur des croisades, ses descendants régnèrent aussi, au Proche-Orient, sur la Principauté d'Antioche. Biographie Petit seigneur normand de la région de Coutances dans l'ouest du duché de Normandie, il possédait un fief de dix chevaliers1, assis à Hauteville. Des trois communes de la Manche portant le nom de Hauteville, aucun historien n’a pu identifier formellement laquelle a donné son nom au domaine de Tancrède, mais elle est traditionnellement admise comme étant Hauteville-la-Guichard2. Bon guerrier doté d'une force extraordinaire, Tancrède de Hauteville s'illustre notamment en tuant d'un seul coup d'épée enfoncée dans le front jusqu'à la garde, un gros sanglier qui avait chargé le duc Richard Ier de Normandie, lors d'une partie de chasse non loin de ses terres, en Cotentin. Pour le récompenser, le duc lui donne l'une de ses nombreuses filles (et peut-être aussi la sœur de cette dernière) et la direction de la garde ducale. Voici ce que dit Aimé de Montcassin (qui écrit en Italie vers 1070) de Tancrède : « …Tancrède, seigneur de Hauteville au pays de Contentin en Normandie, vivait sous le duc Richard II (grand-père de Guillaume le Conquérant) qui l'eut en grande estime pour sa valeur à la cour et aux armées duquel il servait avec dix chevaliers de ses vassaux. Il était de l'ordre de ceux qu'on nomme barons, qui avaient droit de porter bannière en guerre et d'avoir cri de guerre… ». De ses deux épouses successives, Murielle et Frédésende, Tancrède a une quinzaine d'enfants dont au moins douze fils. Ne pouvant pas fournir à ses enfants des apanages suffisants, la quasi-totalité de ses fils, hormis celui qui hérite du fief de Hauteville (Serlon ?), part à partir des années 1030 s'illustrer en Méditerranée, à la recherche de gloire, de fortune et de terres : ces guerriers ambitieux maîtrisant remarquablement la charge de cavalerie (aspect militaire absent en Italie du sud), jetèrent les fondations du futur royaume de Sicile (1130–1816). Famille Ascendance On connait très peu de choses du premier Tancrède de Hauteville3. Du Moyen Âge au xixe siècle, on a voulu donner à Tancrède d'illustres origines : Selon le chroniqueur Geoffroi Malaterra, d'origine normande, Tancrède de Hauteville appartenait à une famille très distinguée4. L'historien italien Ptolémée de Lucques fait de Tancrède un descendant du chef viking Rollon, premier duc de Normandie5. Pour l'érudit sicilien Rocco Pirri, il serait l'un des fils du duc Richard II de Normandie ou de son demi-frère Guillaume de Brionne († 1058), comte d'Hiémois6. Le théologien danois Erik Pontoppidan fait de Tancrède de Hauteville un fils du duc Richard III de Normandie7. Pour l'historien allemand Johann Christoph Gatterer, Tancrède est issu d'un proche parent de Rollon8. Quant à l'historien français Jean-Baptiste Mailly (1744-1794), il dit de lui que quelques-uns le font descendre de Rollon9. Pour l'historien français Odon Delarc, ces affirmations sans fondement, qui se contredisent entre elles, n'ont pour origine que la fantaisie de leurs auteurs10. Descendance De sa première femme Murielle (Moriella), peut-être fille naturelle de Richard Ier de Normandie11, morte prématurément, il a d'abord au moins 5 fils12 : Guillaume (Willelmus), dit Guillaume Bras-de-Fer Drogon (Drogo) Onfroi (Humfredus) Godefroi (Gaufredus) Serlon (Serlo) Il aurait eu également une fille, Béatrice, mariée à un fils du comte Robert d'Eu. De sa seconde épouse Frédésende (Fres(s)endis, Fredes(s)endis) il a au moins 7 fils13 : Robert (Robertus) dit Robert Guiscard Mauger (Malgerius) Guillaume (Willelmus) Alfred (Alveredus) Hubert (Hubertus : signalé en Italie où il serait devenu comte de San Nicandro14 et serait mort en 107115) Tancrède (Tancredus) Roger (Rogerius), futur Roger Ier de Sicile' Il a également au moins une fille, Frédésende, mariée à un puissant prince normand d'Italie, Richard Drengot, comte d'Aversa (1049) et prince de Capoue (1058). Le Chronicon Amalphitani mentionne un autre fils de Tancrède, Frumentinus, qui aurait été son 11e fils16. Romuald de Salerne le mentionne également, peut-être influencé par le Chronicon Amalphitani17. Notes et références: 1. Malaterra, I., 40 2.

   Note: Tancred af Hauteville (980-1041) var en normannisk ridder, som man ikke har ret mange historiske vidnesbyrd om. Hans historiske betydning skyldes udelukkende de bedrifter, der blev udført af hans sønner og deres efterkommere. Han var adelsmand, men placeret langt nede i det adelige hierarki, og boede nær Coutances på Cotentin-halvøen i det nuværende Frankrig. Man ved om ham, at hans bedstefar var kommet fra Skandinavien til Normandiet på samme tid som Rollo[1]. Det vides ikke med sikkerhed, hvilken af de tre landsbyer ved navn Hauteville, han styrede, men Hauteville-la-Guichard er den oftest nævnte. Der dukker senere en del fortællinger op om ham, men ingen af dem kan bekræftes på basis af samtidige kilder. Tancreds efterkommere: Han fik i alt 12 sønner med sine to hustruer. (Begge hustruer hævdes at være døtre af hertug Richard 1. af Normandiet, men ingen primære kilder kan bekræfte denne påstand[2]). Desuden blev han far til adskillige døtre, og næsten alle børnene forlod Normandiet og tog til Syditalien, hvor slægten blev kendt og agtet. Brown skriver, at det må have været en stor opgave for Tancred, der ikke var nogen rig mand, at sørge for udrustning og optræning, så hans sønner kunne blive riddere. En af metoderne var at få placeret sønnerne i tjeneste hos lidt rigere adelsmænd, der havde brug for arbejdskraft. Med sin første hustru Muriella fik han fem sønner: Serlo (blev i Normandiet) Beatrix (d. 1101), først gift med Armand de Mortain, dernæst med Roger Godfred, ridder af Hauteville, greve af Loritello (d. 1063) Vilhelm Jernarm, greve af Apulien (d. 1046) Drogo, greve af Apulien (d. 1051) Humfred, greve af Apulien (d. 1057) I følge Amatus af Montecassino, der var den italienske kronikør, der beskrev normannernes bedrifter i Italien, var Tancred ikke i stand til at leve resten af sit liv i cølibat, og den principfaste mand ville ikke leve i synd, så han giftede sig igen. Med sin anden hustru Fressenda (eller Fredesenda) fik hans syv sønner og mindst én datter: Robert Guiscard, greve af Apulia (1057), derpå hertug af Apulia og Sicilien (d. 1085) Mauger, greve af Capitanatet (en anden betegnelse for det nordlige Apulien) (d. 1064) Vilhelm, greve af Principatet (område omkring Salerno) (d. 1080) Alfred (Alberic eller Alvared, Alveredus på Latin; også kaldt Alvred og Aubrey) (blev i Normandiet) Humbert (Hubert) (blev i Normandiet) Tancred (blev i Normandiet) Roger, greve af Sicilien fra 1062 (d. 1101) Fressenda, gift med Richard 1. af Capua, der var greve af Aversa og fyrste af Capua, og døde i 1078.

   Note: Tancred of Hauteville (980-1041) was an eleventh-century Norman petty lord about whom little is known. His historical importance comes entirely from the accomplishments of his sons and later descendants. He had 12 sons by his two wives (both of them have been said to be daughters of Duke Richard I of Normandy, but no primary sources back up this claim and several daughters, almost all of whom left Normandy for southern Italy and acquired some prominence there. By his first wife Muriella he had five sons: Serlo (stayed in Normandy) Beatrix (d. 1101), married first Armand de Mortain and second Roger Geoffrey, lord of Hauteville, count of Loritello (d. 1063) William Iron Arm, count of Apulia (d. 1046) Drogo, count of Apulia (d. 1051) Humphrey, count of Apulia (d. 1057) According to the Italian chronicler of the Norman feats in the south, Amatus of Montecassino, Tancred was a morally upright man who would not carry on a sinful relationship and so remarried, being unable also to live out his life in perfect celibacy. By his second wife Fressenda (or Fredesenda) he had seven sons and at least one daughter: Robert Guiscard, count of Apulia (1057), then duke of Apulia and Sicily (d. 1085) Mauger, count of the Capitanate (d. 1064) 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, count of Sicily from 1062 (d. 1101) Fressenda, who married Richard I (dead in 1078), count of Aversa and prince of Capua
