Tancred, Prince of Bari
Tancred of Hauteville (born c. 1119, died 16 March between 1138 and 1140), from 1132 to 1138.
He was named by his father to replace the rebellious
prince of Capua, one of his father's chief men on the peninsula, while the king himself remained mostly in Sicily
.
Tancred died young between 1138 and 1140.
Abū l-Ḍawʾ was likely about Tancred, since the son in question was a young man who had only just begun his martial career. It was possibly about his brother Alfonso.[2]
