Emma of Hauteville

Emma of Hauteville (fl. c. 1180–c. 1120) was a daughter of Robert Guiscard and Sichelgaita. According to Ralph of Caen, she married Odo the Good Marquis and had two sons: Tancred and William, both of whom participated in the First Crusade. Tancred became Prince of Galilee and William died in the Holy Land.

Emma was dead by 1126, when Odo's second wife and widow, Sichelgaita, made a donation for her family's memory.
