Tancred of Hauteville (c. 1075 – 1112) was a prominent Italo-Norman leader and a key participant in the First Crusade (1096–1099 AD). 

He was born into the influential Hauteville family, a Norman noble family that played a significant role in the Norman expansion into southern Italy and the Crusades. 
In 1096 AD, Tancred joined his maternal uncle Bohemond of Hauteville on the First Crusade.  He assisted in the siege of Antioch and participated in the successful assault on Jerusalem. 

With the establishment of the Kingdom of Jerusalem, Tancred became Prince of Galilee and later Regent of the Principality of Antioch.

In 1110 AD Tancred brought Krak des Chevaliers under his control. This castle became the most important castle in the County of Tripoli and until 1271 AD was under the control of the Order of the Knights Hospitaller.

Tancred married Cecile, daughter of King Philip I of France. In 1112 AD Tancred died during a typhoid epidemic and was buried in the porch of St. Peter, the Cathedral of Antioch. 

To this day, Tancred remains a symbol of Norman martial prowess and Crusader chivalry. Tancred’s coinage is a fascinating window into how Crusader leaders navigated identity and authority in a foreign land. During his regency in Antioch, Tancred issued bronze folles that were rich in both symbolism and cultural nuance.
