Norman lords of Conversano

In Alexander of Telese's "Deeds Done by King Roger of Sicily", he makes
mention of certain "magnates of Apulia" who joined the pope in
resisting King Roger II of Sicily. Among them is a "Tancred of
Conversano", who by his name I would think would be another member of
the Hauteville family, and thus a cousin of King Roger. Perhaps a
connection to Geoffrey of Conversano, father of Sibilla, the wife of
Robert Curthose?

Tancred of Conversano had the same father as Sibilla, Count Geoffrey who was
son of a sister of Robert Guiscard.
