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 primarily 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.[1][2] 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.[3]

Family and descendants
Between 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:

Beatrix (d. 1101), married first to Armand de Mortain, son of Robert, Count of Eu, and second to a Roger (family unknown)
William Iron Arm,[4] count of Apulia and Calabria (d. 1046)
Drogo,[4] count of Apulia and Calabria (d. 1051)
Humphrey,[4] count of Apulia and Calabria (d. 1057)
Serlo (stayed in Normandy)
Geoffrey, lord of Hauteville, count of Loritello (d. 1063)
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.

Coat-of-arms of Hauteville
With his second wife, Fressenda (or Fredesenda),[5] 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)[5]
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)[5]
Fressenda, who married Richard I (dead in 1078), count of Aversa and prince of Capua
Other Tancred of Hauteville

Tancred the elder
son Robert Guiscard (Duke Robert d'Hauteville)

The following post to SGM, 25 Apr 2001, by Peter Stewart gives info onTancred's wives (note that I have Muriella as daughter of Richard I &Fressendis as daughter of Richard II):

It is thought possible - not quite the same as believed to be "correct" -that Tancred's wives Muriella and Fressendis were illegitimate daughtersof Richard II (the Good) of Normandy. They were probably related in someway, and for all I know it may be that at least Muriella was old enoughto have been a daughter of Richard I (the Fearless) - but Fressendisseems to have belonged more certainly to a younger generation. (She iscredited with at least nine children born up to ca 1045/50, making itunlikely that her father died in 996.)

A good source for this part of the Hauteville family is HuguetteTaviani-Carozzi's *La terreur du monde: Robert Guiscard at la conquêtenormande en Italie, mythe et histoire* (Paris, 1996).
