TheHauteville family (Italian:Altavilla,Sicilian:Autaviḍḍa) was aNorman family, originally of petty lords, from theCotentin Peninsula inNormandy.[7] The Hautevilles rose to prominence through their part in theNorman conquest of southern Italy. In 1130,Roger II of Hauteville, was made the firstKing of Sicily. His male-line descendants ruled the kingdom until 1194. The Hauteville also took part in theFirst Crusade and ruled the independentPrincipality of Antioch (1098).[8]

Origins

[edit]

Tradition traces the family's origins toHiallt, a 10th-centuryViking who supposedly founded the village ofHialtus villa, from which the family's name originates.[9][10][11] Hiallt, however, is probably just a legendaryeponymous ancestor: the Latin form of Hauteville,Altavilla, simply means "high estate".[11]

The first well-documented member of the family isTancred of Hauteville, petty lord ofHauteville-la-Guichard. Tancred had many sons by his two wives, Muriella andFressenda, and his small patrimony was hardly enough to accommodate all of his children. They were thus forced to seek fortune elsewhere, namely inSouthern Italy.[8]

Southern Italy

[edit]
See also:Norman conquest of southern Italy

William Iron Arm andDrogo were the first of Tancred's sons to arrive in Southern Italy, sometime around 1035. They distinguished themselves in a rebellion against theByzantines, and in 1042 William Iron Arm was named the firstCount of Apulia. In 1046 he was succeeded by Drogo, whose titles were confirmed byEmperor Henry III. Drogo was succeeded by another brother,Humphrey, who in 1053 defeatedPope Leo IX in theBattle of Civitate, strengthening the Hautevilles’ power.[8]

Humphrey was succeeded by a fourth brother,Robert Guiscard. In 1059, Robert was made the firstDuke of Apulia and Calabria, and also Lord ofSicily, byPope Nicholas II. Together with his younger brother,Roger I, he started to conquer Sicily, at the time occupied by theSaracens. Guiscard was succeeded by his sonRoger Borsa, who in turn was succeeded by his sonWilliam II. When William died childless, all of the Hauteville family's domains were inherited byRoger II, son of Roger I.[8][12]

Kingdom of Sicily

After unifying all of the Hauteville family's domains, Roger II supportedAntipope Anacletus II, and on Christmas of 1130, Roger was madeKing of Sicily. Roger spent the majority of his first decade of reign fending off invaders and suppressing rebellions. In 1139, with theTreaty of Mignano, his kingship was recognized by the legitimate Pope,Innocent II. Through the actions of his admiralGeorge of Antioch, Roger also proceeded to conquer theMahdia, taking the unofficial title of “King of Africa”.

Roger's son and successor wasWilliam I the Bad. His nickname derives primarily from his lack of popularity among the chroniclers, who supported the baronial revolts that William crushed. In 1166 he was succeeded by his sonWilliam II the Good, who was still a minor. During his regency, that lasted until 1189, the realm was subject to turmoils, which almost broke it apart. Eventually peace won, and William II's reign is remembered as peaceful and prosperous.

William II died without heirs in 1189, and there was a succession dispute. William's only legitimate heir was his auntConstance, but she had marriedEmperor Henry VI, and Sicilian officials didn't want a German ruler. An illegitimate cousin of William,Tancred of Lecce, seized the throne. He initially had to fight against a revolt ofRoger of Andria, a former contender. In 1190 he managed to kill him, and in 1191 he was able to repel an invasion of Constance and Henry VI. After he died in 1194, however, the kingdom passed to Constance anyway, and was afterwards ruled by theHohenstaufen. Constance and Henry's son and successor wasEmperor Frederick II.[13]

Crusades

The eldest son of Robert Guiscard,Bohemond, didn't inherit the majority of his father possessions because he wasn't considered legitimate, as his parents’ marriage was annulled for consanguinity. He thus had to find land elsewhere. In 1097 he joined a band of Crusaders, on their way to thefirst Crusade, along with his nephew,Tancred of Galilee. Bohemond took the city ofAntioch, and remained there for the duration of the Crusade, carving out the independentPrincipality of Antioch for himself. He was succeeded by his sonBohemond II, who in turn was succeeded by his daughterConstance, who ruled the principality until 1163. Bohemond's nephew, Tancred, also had luck in carving thePrincipality of Galilee, a vassal fief of theKingdom of Jerusalem.[14]

Cadet branches

[edit]

Different Italian noble families are scions of the House of Hauteville. Among these, there are theGesualdo family [it],[4] theRosso family [it],[5] and theGuarna / Avarna family [it].[1][2][3]

Supposed members of the House of Hauteville also appear in England. According toGoffredo Malaterra, one of Tancred's sons, Aubrey or Alverard, remained in Normandy. TheDomesday Book, written in 1086, records that a certain Aluericus Halsvilla had previously held lands inCompton Martin, in the County ofSomerset. His kinsman, Ralf Halsvilla is mentioned as a tenant inBurbage andWolfhall, inWiltshire.[citation needed]

Notes

[edit]
  1. ^The nameFrumentinus bears resemblance to the nameHubertus. Frumentin and Hubert may thus be the same person
  2. ^TheAnnales ofRomuald Guarna state that Tancred had three daughters, but without naming them or stating by which marriage they were born. One of these daughters is the Fressenda named above. One of the two remaining daughters is sometimes given the name Beatrice, and has been erroneously identified as the mother ofGeoffrey, Count of Conversano. All of the informations regarding her are dubious[18][19]
  3. ^TheGesta Roberti Wiscardi names, in order."Gosfridus, Gocelinus, Abagelardus" as sons of"Unfredi"[20]
  4. ^TheGesta Roberti Wiscardi names, in order."Gosfridus, Gocelinus, Abagelardus" as sons of"Unfredi"[20]
  5. ^In some instances, Emma is given as Robert's sister rather than his daughter.Guibert of Nogent, however, calls her son,Tancred of Galilee, the nephew ofBohemond I of Antioch, thus making her a daughter of Robert Guiscard. From a chronological perspective, it is also more probable that Emma was Guiscard's daughter.
  6. ^Sometimes given the name Héria
  7. ^John Julius Norwich identifies the Emma who married William of Auvergne and the Emma who married Rudolf of Montescaglioso as two different daughters of Roger I who bore the same name.
  8. ^(this daughter of Roger I is called Felicia in theEuropäische Stammtafeln, but other sources do not give her name. She is also sometimes mistakenly called Busilla, but this is thought to be a misinterpretation of the French wordpucelle, meaning young lady or virgin.)
  9. ^Patrick van Kerrebrouck says that her name could be Sibylla and that she was born from Roger’s third marriage. However, chronologically, it is more probable that she was born from Roger’s second marriage
  10. ^this daughter is only named in one source[21]
  11. ^Robert possibly had offsprings who were also counts of Loritello, but the sources for their parentage remain obscure
  12. ^the primary source for her name is not known
  13. ^died young
  14. ^died young
  15. ^died young
  16. ^Amatus of Montecassino records that Robert Guiscard pursued "Abelard and Gradilon, the husband of his sister" after the former's rebellion in 1078[23]
  17. ^lived three months
  18. ^Rocco Pirri records her as this Geoffrey's daughter.Carlo Alberto Garufi, on the other hand, records her as daughter of a certain Geoffrey of Lecce, Count of Montescaglioso.
  19. ^died an infant[17]
  20. ^The claim for these two daughters existing is made inSnorri Sturluson'sHeimskringla, which records: "William king of Sicily…had three daughters…his second daughter married the Duke of Kipr [Isaac Komnenos of Cyprus ]...his third daughter, Margaret, was married to the chief of the corsairs [a certain Margaritone, admiral of Sicily]". However, theHeimskringla also records that William had no sons, and that a daughter of his married an "emperor Henry who killed his brothers in law". Therefore, it can't be trusted.
  21. ^predeceased his father
  22. ^Valdrada is only named in one source,“The dogaressas of Venice” by Edgcumbe Staley[24]
  23. ^this daughter is only named in one source[25]
