	Tancred of Sicily - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Tancred (died February 20, 1194), was King of Sicily from 1189 to 1194.
		Tancred was a good soldier, though his tiny stature earns from Peter of Eboli the nickname "Tancredulus." But he was ill-supported in his task of maintaining the Norman kingdom, faced with general apathy, and threatened by a baronial revolt, and, in addition, Richard Coeur-de-Lion, at Messina, 1190, threatened him with war.
