  === Life Sketch ===
  Alberada of Buonalbergo was a duchess of Apulia as the first wife of Robert Guiscard, duke of Apulia (1059–1085).
  
  She married Guiscard in 1051 or 1052, when he was still just a robber baron in Calabria. As her dowry, she brought Robert Guiscard 200 knights under command of her nephew Girard of Buonalbergo. She had two children with Guiscard: a daughter, Emma, mother of Tancred, Prince of Galilee, and a son, Prince Bohemond I of Antioch. In 1058, after Pope Nicholas II strengthened existing canon law against consanguinity and on that basis, Guiscard repudiated Alberada in favour of a then-more advantageous marriage to Sichelgaita, the sister of Prince Gisulf II of Salerno. Nevertheless, the split was amicable and Alberada showed no later ill will.
  
  She was alive at the death of Bohemond in March 1111 and died very old, probably in July 1122 or thereabouts. She was buried near the Hauteville family mausoleum in the Abbey of Holy Trinity at Venosa. Her tomb is the only one remaining intact today.

  === Parentage unknown ===
  The woman known as Alverada di Buonalbergo is of unknown parentage. All that the contemporary record states is that she was aunt of Gerard di Buonalbergo, and his parentage is uncertain.
  
  At some point through either misinterpretation or overly-enthusastic guesswork, she came to be placed in the family of the Renaud, Count of Burgundy, but there is no sound basis for her being his daughter.
