Hiallt (born c.920)[1] was a Danish Norseman (Viking) who settled in Normandy, France in the 10th century, following the success of Rollo 1st Duke of Normandy and the Treaty of Saint-Clair-sur-Epte. He settled in the Cotentin Peninsula and founded the village of Hialtus Villa (Hauteville). By the 11th century Hauteville had also developed into the family name of his descendents, headed by his great grandson Tancred of Hauteville.[1][2][3] The later generations of the Hauteville family went on to play a pivotal role in both Western European and Middle Eastern life that still resonates in contemporary geopolitics.
Ancestors
Hiallt was descended from the House of Ogier the Dane (aka Holgar "Danske"), his great great great great great grandfather who died in 817. He was also the great great great great great great grandson of King Gudfred of Denmark.[1]
According to the genealogy charts in The British Chronicles by David Hughes,[1] Hiallt was the son of Ivor; who was the son of Magnus; who was the son of Olaf; who was the son of Arailt (aka "Harald") died 856; who was the son of Hingmar (aka "Ivar"); who was the son of Sveide "The Sea King" or "The Viking" (died 832); who was the son of Ogier the Dane (aka Holgar "Danske") and his third wife Astritha, daughter of King Gudfred.[1]
Descendents
The sons and descendents of Hiallt's great grandson Tancred of Hauteville played a pivotal role in both Western European and Middle Eastern life that still resonates in contemporary geopolitics.[4] They conquered firstly southern Italy (Norman conquest of southern Italy) - where Robert d'Hauteville, (known as Robert Guiscard), became Duke of Apulia and Calabria;[5] they became rulers of Sicily - Roger I of Sicily; Roger II - King of Sicily; and were leaders of the Crusades against the Islamic world to restore Christian control of the Holy Land and grab more new lands. Tancred's grandson Bohemond I of Antioch (Prince of Taranto and Prince of Antioch) was a leader in the First Crusade, and Goffredo Malaterra bluntly states in the text De Rebus Gestis Rogerii Calabriae et Siciliae Comitis et Roberti Guiscardi Ducis fratris eius that he took the Cross with the intention of plundering and conquering Greek lands.[6] Tancred's great-grandson, Tancred, Prince of Galilee, was also a leader in the First Crusade.[4]
