De Hauteville was not about to give up Violette's company so easily that glorious afternoon, and so after lunch had urged her onto Harry Gluckman's yacht, which lay anchored in the Juan Golfe, to sunbathe with him.
Seething, de Hauteville seized on the most horrific prospect of all: Violette lolling sullenly before the camera, her enormous belly bared for the gawking crew.

Her father died during one of the annual De Hauteville Hunts under dubious circumstances best left unmentioned (it appears that everyone knows the story, Lord Reggie's peculiar tastes being well known, but they all refuse to talk about it).

Soon thereafter as, so Lady de Hauteville claimed, the old dower house was drafty and damp and decidedly not to her liking, she decided to travel and took the Honourable Miss Ariel along with her on many journeys.

De Hauteville left his position by her on the settee and began pacing the suite, going from one room to the next, muttering.
De Hauteville examined his shirtsleeve but chose to ignore the stain, not wanting, with the Count in such a dire mood, to risk further petulance on the part of his servant.

(In the 1040s-1090s.) Finally, the sons of De Hauteville, between 1040-1060, gained the confidence of the Papacy, and the politics here from the papal point of view are far more complex than the more violent politics of the De Hautevilles.

 The unofficial underground heavy metal bands' page
2 It didn't seem so quick to us, indeed..; Hauteville wa born in 1994..a firs "calling card"/maxi single CD has been released in 1995, giving rise to good feedbacks from music magazines, radios, etc...but not enough, anyway, to prompt any record company to offer a deal.
Hence, we decided to go further by ourselves, creating our own society (Eddystone) in 1996 which operates the studio and everything concerning the band.
There's an obvious "metal" bedrock in Hauteville's music (even if it affects mainly some of us) : we like Aerosmith, King's X, Queensryche, etc. But other bands, too, who's repertoire, if not branded as pure raw metal, is not so remote from that music : Queen, Yes, Rush, Toto, Saga, Journey, Mister mister.
