Tancred, Prince of Galilee
Tancred (1075 – December 5 or December 12, 1112) was an Italo-Norman leader of the First Crusade who later became Prince of Galilee and regent of the Principality of Antioch.
Tancred had a great-grandfather with the same name, Tancred of Hauteville; since both Tancreds were from the house of Hauteville, they may be confused.
Cleomenes II
Cleomenes II( died 309 BC) was Agiad King of Sparta from 369 to 309 BC.
The son of Cleombrotus I, he succeeded his brother Agesipolis II.
He was the father of Acrotatus I, the father of Areus I, and of Cleonymus, the father of Leonidas II.
Tancred of Hauteville
Tancred of Hauteville (980 – 1041) was an 11th-century Norman petty lord about whom little is known.
His historical importance comes entirely from the accomplishments of his sons and later descendants.
He was a minor noble near Coutances in the Cotentin.
Various legends arose about Tancred which have no supporting contemporary evidence that has survived the ages.
Richard of Hauteville
Richard of Hauteville( c. 1045–1110) was a noble knight of Hauteville family, the conquerors of South Italy during the 11th century.
Richard was born around 1045 to Drogo of Hauteville, a Norman adventurer and count, and Altrude of Salerno, a Lombard princess.
He was a nephew of Robert Guiscard and Roger I of Sicily.
On his father's death in 1051, he was too young to succeed, and his uncle Humphrey was elected count instead.
On Humphrey's death, his cousins, Abelard and Herman were overlooked by their uncle Robert.
While Abelard rebelled, claiming the inheritance, Richard allied with Robert and Roger.
Richard was present with Guiscard at the fall of Bari in April 1071 and fought strongly against his rebel cousins and their allies between 1078 and 1080, when Abelard died.
For his support, Richard was confirmed as count of Castellaneta, Oria, and Mottola by his uncle.
In 1101, Richard was appointed seneschal of Apulia and Calabria by the Guiscard's son and successor, his cousin, Roger Borsa.
Arthur Beauchamp
Arthur Beauchamp( 1827 – 28 April 1910) was a Member of Parliament from New Zealand.
He is remembered as the father of Harold Beauchamp, who rose to fame as chairman of the Bank of New Zealand and was the father of writer Katherine Mansfield.
John Templeton (botanist)
John Templeton( 1766–1825) was an early Irish naturalist and botanist.
He is often referred to as the" Father of Irish Botany".
He was the father of naturalist, artist and entomologist Robert Templeton.
Drogo of Hauteville
Drogo of Hauteville ("c".
1010 – 10 August 1051) was the second Count of Apulia and Calabria (1046–51) in southern Italy.
Initially he was only the leader of those Normans in the service of Prince Guaimar IV of Salerno, but after 1047 he was a territorial prince owing fealty directly to the Emperor.
Drogo was born in Normandy, a son of Tancred of Hauteville and his first wife, Muriella.
Around 1035, he arrived with his elder brother William in southern Italy.
With his brother, he took part in the campaign of the Byzantine catepan George Maniaches in Sicily (1038) and then in the campaign of Guaimar IV against the Byzantines in Apulia (1041).
In 1042, Drogo was one of the twelve Norman leaders who met at Melfi to elect his brother William their first count under Guaimar's suzerainty.
In the ensuing twelve-part division of the conquered territory in northern Apulia, Drogo received Venosa.
In 1044–45, Drogo fought on behalf of his brother in Apulia.
In 1045, he seized Bovino from the Byzantines.
After William's death in 1046, Drogo and Peter of Trani were vied to succeed him.
Having the support of Guaimar, Drogo was elected by his fellow Normans.
In 1047, Drogo married Altrude of Salerno, a Lombard princess.
He reached an agreement with the Abbey of Montecassino, which intervened on his behalf to convince Guaimar to release the Norman count of Aversa, Rainulf II, whom he had imprisoned.
On 3 February 1047, while the Emperor Henry III was visiting southern Italy, he received Drogo's homage and invested him with all the territory which he already controlled.
After this Drogo began using the title "Duke and Master of all Italy and Count of all the Normans of Apulia and Calabria".
Although legally, as a direct vassal of the emperor, he was on the same plane as Guaimar, according to the opinion of the historian Ferdinand Chalandon, he remained a feudal dependent of the prince of Salerno.
When Drogo's younger half-brother, Robert Guiscard, arrived in Italy before 1050, he was ordered to leave the service of Guaimar's rival, Prince Pandulf IV of Capua, presumably on account of Drogo's obligations to the former.
Other newly arrived Normans also gave him trouble: Richard Drengot attacked him and was captured.
Only the intervention of Guaimar could secure Richard's release late in 1047 or early in 1048.
In 1051, Drogo met with Pope Leo IX, when the latter visited southern Italy at the emperor's command to re-establish the "freedom of the churchlibertas ecclesiae").
Leo forced a promise from Drogo that he would stop the Normans from pillaging.
In August, as he was returning from this meeting with the pope, Drogo was assassinated at Monteilaro, near Bovino, the victim of a Byzantine conspiracy organised by the Catepan Argyrus, who was planning the reconquest of Apulia.
Drogo was buried in the church of the Santissima Trinità in Venosa.
Drogo was succeeded by his younger brother Humphrey after a brief interregnum.
A certain Richard, who joined the First Crusade, has been identified as Drogo's son.
Humphrey I of Toron
Humphrey I of Toron( Onfroy de Toron), a Norman, appears initially in 1115 as a vassal of Josselin de Courtenay, prince of Tiberias; the castle at Toron having been built in the years after 1105, he most likely was its lord from that date, having taken part in the First Crusade.
He was the father of Humphrey II of Toron, whose mother is not known.
Humphrey I was certainly a Norman from Italy, and perhaps connected to the House of Hauteville who had settled in Southern Italy.
One of his descendants of the fifteenth century claimed Tancred of Hauteville as ancestor.
Family tradition was that their origins were in Denmark, i.e. Viking.
Serlo I of Hauteville
Serlo I of Hauteville( also spelled" Sarlo" or" Serlon" in French) was a son of Tancred of Hauteville by his first wife, Muriella, probably the youngest, though some sources call him the eldest.
Born before 1010, he was the eldest son of Tancred's to remain in Normandy.
After a dispute with a neighbour( a man of the court of Robert I, duke of Normandy), whom he killed over an insult, Serlo was exiled for three years.
Around 1041, his father died and he inherited the small fief of Hauteville in the Cotentin and the sirery of Pirou through his wife.
He was regarded, as were his brothers, as an exceptional warrior.
Around 1056, his son Serlo followed his half- brother Roger to the Mezzogiorno and made his fortunes there.
Obata Toramori
He was the father of Obata Masamori.
