Prince Tancred Tancred of Hauteville was a Norman lord of south Italy. He was only twenty-four years of age when he took the Cross in 1096. Bohemond, who was Tancred’s uncle, financed Tancred’s expedition. Because Tancred was related to Bohemond and because of his prowess in battle and capability of commanding an army, he would play a significant role in the First Crusade. After the capture of Jerusalem (1099) he received the title Prince of Galilee.
