The Life of Tancred, Norman Crusader
A very nice piece of work and a well written story. This is Nicholson's doctoral dissertation at the University of Chicago, reprinted, which covers the life of Tancred, nephew of Bohemond (who was a leader of the First Crusade).

Nicholson does a careful job with his subject, as befits a top Medievalist. Beginning with Tancred's origins and relation to Bohemond, he takes us through the First Crusade and the intrigues of the Holy Land and Antioch to Tancred's death.

A great addition to any library on the Crusades and/or the Normans in Italy.
