Should the crusading Tancred be known by this name? He was not of the Hauteville male line - his mother was a daughter of Robert Guiscard, I believe. I'm not sure what his father's family name was. john k 06:42, 1 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Hauteville was the place in Normandy that Robert Guiscard et al's father ruled. I don't think Tancred had even ever been in Normandy. john k 08:07, 1 Nov 2004 (UTC)
That's true, and a quick search through the indexes of the various books I have here list him as simply "Tancred," "Tancred of Taranto," or "Tancred of Antioch." It's been on Wikipedia so long that Google is difficult to use here, but I think the Hauteville part may come from Britannica (and now I have no idea where I got it from!). What should we use instead? Adam Bishop 16:34, 1 Nov 2004 (UTC)
His title in the Holy Land was "Prince of Galilee" or "Prince of Tiberias," I think...Something like that might work... He was never actually Prince of Antioch - just regent for Bohemond I and Bohemond II. john k 20:25, 1 Nov 2004 (UTC)
so if this is the same Tancred as the Prince of Galilee, then why the seperate pages? this should be almagamated.
Well as it stands currently, he was born thirty years after his first son, so some tidying up is clearly in order! 78.33.88.77 (talk) 00:20, 27 December 2008 (UTC)
I think there is something wrong in this page.All of his sons were born in 1040th and 1050th, but he was born in 1072??? I don't know when he was born, but this error is too clear....--Wgwb (talk) 16:28, 2 January 2009 (UTC)
I added a link to his great-grandson, with the same name and the same place. I guess the old versions of this page were pretty mixed up, but hopefully this links the 2 people. Tancred, Prince of Galilee was the junior. I like to saw logs! (talk) 07:13, 27 April 2011 (UTC)
