The House of Hauteville (Italian: Altavilla, Sicilian: Autavilla) was a Norman family originally of seigneurial rank from the Cotentin.[1] The Hautevilles rose to prominence through their part in the Norman conquest of southern Italy. By 1130, one of their members, Roger II, was made the first King of Sicily. His male-line descendants ruled Sicily until 1194. Some Italian Hautevilles took part in the First Crusade and the founding of the independent Principality of Antioch (1098).
