Fressenda

Fressenda (Latin: Frensendis or Fredesendis) was an 11th-century Norman noblewoman and the wife of Tancred of Hauteville.

Contemporary historian Goffredo Malaterra, wrote that she was "a lady who in birth and morals was by no means inferior to his first wife."

[9] Fressenda's early life is unknown but at some point she married Tancred of Hauteville in Normandy.

Her daughter Fressenda also left with the brothers and married a Norman lord,[11] Richard I of Capua.

[13] Her remaining sons, Aubrey, Humbert, and Tancred appears to have stayed behind in Normandy and faded out of history.
