sons, but Guiscard confiscated their inheritance. Humphrey is buried in the Abbey of the Santissima Trinità in Venosa. Relatives Humphrey's wife was called a "sister of the Duke of Sorrento" by Amatus of Montecassino. This would make her Gaitelgrima, a daughter of Guaimar III of Salerno. It is often stated that his wife was Gaitelgrima, the widow of his brother Drogo, however this is impossible. Humphrey had two children: Abelard of Hauteville, born after 1044 and died in Greece in 1081. Herman, born after 1045 and died in Byzantium in 1097 We know that Humphrey also had at least one daughter because of a story told by Amatus. Abelard was fleeing Robert Guiscard with "Gradilon, the husband of his sister" in 1078 when in revolt against his uncle. Gradilon was captured by the Guiscard's troops near Trevico in the summer of 1079 and blinded. Notes Sources Ghisalberti, Albert (ed). Dizionario Biografico degli Italiani: II Albicante – Ammannati.
