Everything about Mauger Of Hauteville totally explained
Mauger of Hauteville (also
Latin Malgerius or
Italian Maugerio) was a younger (probably the second) son of
Tancred of Hauteville by his second wife, Fressenda. He travelled to the
Mezzogiorno with his brother
William and his elder half-brother
Geoffrey around
1053, though some sources indicate him coming later, c.
1056.
He soon distinguished himself and was invested with the county of the
Capitanate soon after his arrival (either 1053 or
1057) by
Humphrey, his half brother and
count of Apulia, but he didn't long survive to hold it. According to
Goffredo Malaterra, he died in
1054, though other chroniclers have him dying in 1057 or as late as
1060, after assisting his elder full brother
Robert Guiscard, Humphrey's successor, in an expedition against the new army of the
Byzantine Emperor Constantine X, sent to recover
Langobardia. Whenever he died, his fief went to William, who passed it to Geoffrey out of fraternal affection (according to Malaterra).
