After the death of King William II of Sicily his cousin Tancred of Lecce had seized power and had been crowned early in 1190 as King Tancred I of Sicily, although the legal heir was William's aunt Constance, wife of the new Emperor Henry VI.

On 28 March 1193 Richard was brought to Speyer and handed over to Henry VI, Holy Roman Emperor, who was aggrieved both by the support which the Plantagenets had given to the family of Henry the Lion, and also by Richard's recognition of Tancred in Sicily, and who imprisoned him in Trifels Castle.

He had entrusted Constance to the citizens and they had betrayed him and handed her over to King Tancred.

Aside from Adhemar and Raymond, other leaders he recruited throughout 1096 included Bohemond of Taranto, a southern Italian ally of the reform popes ; Bohemond's nephew Tancred ; Godfrey of Bouillon, who had previously been an anti-reform ally of the Holy Roman Emperor ; his brother Baldwin of Boulogne ; Hugh I, Count of Vermandois, brother of the excommunicated Philip I of France ; Robert Curthose, brother of William II of England ; and his relatives Stephen II, Count of Blois and Robert II, Count of Flanders.

Tancred was surely seeking to capture some land and establish himself as a petty ruler in the east, and Baldwin may have had the same goal.

Tancred was prepared to take up the regency before it was finally reported that Baldwin had been victorious.

Much of the evidence for this comes from William of Tyre, whose account of these events is troublesome ; it is only William who tells us that Dagobert forced Godfrey to concede Jerusalem and Jaffa, while other writers such as Albert of Aachen and Ralph of Caen suggest that both Dagobert and his ally Tancred had sworn an oath to Godfrey to accept only one of his brothers or blood relations as his successor.

His nephew Tancred, who for three years and taken his uncle's place, had during that time attacked the Byzantines and added Tarsus, Adana and Massissa in Cilicia, but was now deprived of his lordship by Bohemond's return.

Once Henry had withdrawn with the bulk of the imperial army, the towns that had supposedly fallen to the empire immediately declared their allegiance to Tancred, for the most part now fearing his retribution.

The populace of Salerno saw an opportunity to win some favour with Tancred and delivered Constance to him in Messina, an important prize given that Henry had every intention of returning.

After the assassination of Maio, the royal palace was stormed by two of the king's own relatives: Simon, his illegitimate half-brother, whom he had dispossessed of Taranto early in his reign, and Tancred, his bastard nephew, the count of Lecce.

With the aid of a Pisan fleet, Tancred seized Latakia after Bohemond had promised it to Emperor Alexios I Komnenos as part of the Treaty of Devol in 1108.

Tancred was illegitimate, but he had the support of most of the great men of the kingdom.

In Jerusalem Baldwin was opposed by his old enemy Tancred, as well as the new patriarch, Dagobert of Pisa, who would have preferred to set up a theocratic state while Godfrey was still alive.

That year he also paid the ransom for Bohemund of Antioch, who was still in prison following his defeat at Melitene ; Baldwin preferred Bohemund to Tancred, who ruled Antioch as regent, and was also prince of Galilee earlier in Baldwin's reign.

He also faced opposition from Dagobert of Pisa, the Patriarch of Jerusalem, who was allied with Tancred.

Roger was the youngest son of Tancred of Hauteville by his second wife Fredisenda, and by tradition the descendant of Norseman ( Viking ) named Hiallt who is said to have settled in Normandy in the 10th century.

He also helped ransom Bohemund from the Danishmends, preferring Bohemund to his nephew Tancred, who was now regent.

Alexius wanted Tancred to return the Principality entirely to Byzantium, but Tancred was supported by the County of Tripoli and the Kingdom of Jerusalem ; Tancred, in fact, had been the only Crusade leader who did not swear to return conquered land to Alexius ( though none of the other leaders, save for Raymond IV of Toulouse, kept their oaths anyway ).

Tancred died in 1112 and was succeeded by Bohemond II, under the regency of Tancred's nephew Roger of Salerno, who defeated a Seljuk attack in 1113.

However, Godfrey died in July, when Dagobert was accompanying a campaign against Jaffa under Bohemund's nephew, Tancred, Prince of Galilee, and the Jerusalem knights offered the lordship to Baldwin, who was Godfrey's brother.

According to the Italian chronicler of the Norman feats in the south, Amatus of Montecassino, Tancred was a morally upright man, who would not carry on a sinful relationship and being unable also to live out his life in perfect celibacy, he remarried.

The treaty was signed by Richard, Philip and Tancred.

In 1111 Baldwin assisted Tancred in besieging Shaizar, and then also besieged Tyre, but was pushed back by a Muslim force under Toghtekin of Damascus.

The proposition that Haverfordwest Castle was founded by Tancred, a Flemish marcher lord is questionable.

It is recorded that the Constable of the castle in 1207 was Itohert son of Richard Tancard-possibly a descendant of the first Tancred.

A politique, Bohemond was resolved to engineer the enthusiasm of the crusaders to his own ends ; and when his nephew Tancred left the main army at Heraclea Cybistra, and attempted to establish a footing in Cilicia, the movement may have been already intended as a preparation for Bohemond's eastern principality.

Robert Guiscard was the sixth son of Tancred of Hauteville and eldest by his second wife Fressenda.
