Hereinafter cited as «i»Dynasties of the World«/i». http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tancred_of_Hauteville The Hauteville family later was said 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 which village of Hauteville the family drew its name, is hard to identify with certainty, although modern scholarship favours Hauteville-la-Guichard. His historical importance comes entirely from the accomplishments of his sons and later descendants. He was a minor noble near Coutances in the Cotentin. Tancred's great-grandson, also bearing the same name, Tancred, Prince of Galilee, was a leader in the First Crusade. The line of succession was: Tancred the elder son Robert Guiscard (Duke Robert d'Hauteville) granddaughter Emma of Hauteville great-grandson Tancred of Hauteville, who became Prince of Galilee and regent of the Principality of Antioch
