Hauteville-la-Guichard
Hauteville-la-Guichard is a French commune in the area of Coutances of the département of La Manche, in the region of Basse-Normandie, famous as the original stronghold of the Hauteville family who made their fortunes in southern Italy and Sicily as the Norman kings of Sicily, beginning with the modest Norman seigneur Tancred of Hauteville, who is commemorated by a simple exhibit housed in the former presbytère.
