Mauger of Hauteville was a younger (probably the second) son of Tancred of Hauteville by his second wife, Fressenda. He travelled to the Mezzogiorno with his brother William and his elder half-brother Geoffrey around 1053, though some sources indicate him coming later, c.1056. He soon distinguished himself and was invested with the county of the Capitanate soon after his arrival (either 1053 or 1057) by Humphrey, his half brother and count of Apulia, but he did not long survive to hold it.

According to Goffredo Malaterra, he died in 1054, though other chroniclers have him dying in 1057 or as late as 1060, after assisting his elder full brother Robert Guiscard, Humphrey's successor, in an expedition against the new army of the Byzantine Emperor Constantine X, sent to recover Langobardia. Whenever he died, his fief went to William, who passed it to Geoffrey out of fraternal affection (according to Malaterra).
  • Mauger de Hauteville, né en Normandie dans les années 1020, est l'un des nombreux fils de Tancrède de Hauteville, petit noble normand du Cotentin. Vers 1056, il décide de quitter le duché normand pour se rendre en Italie du Sud, peut-être accompagné de son frère Roger Bosso. La même année ou peu après, en 1057, il est nommé comte du Capitanate par son frère aîné Onfroi, comte d'Apulie. Il meurt peu de temps après (1057) et son comté passe à son frère Guillaume, qui finit par le céder à leur frère aîné Godefroi.
  • Giunse nel Mezzogiorno d'Italia col fratello Guglielmo e il fratellastro Goffredo intorno al 1056. Dal fratellastro Umfredo, conte di Puglia, ricevette la contea di Capitanata. Nella primavera del 1060 occupò la piazzaforte di Oria, cacciandone la guarnigione bizantina che la teneva, mentre il fratello Roberto prendeva Brindisi e Taranto. La controffensiva di Miriarca ad ottobre dello stesso anno li costrinse a lasciare i territori conquistati. Morì nel 1064 secondo il Breve Chronicon Northmannicum (Et mense septembri mortuus est Malgerus comes, ...). Il suo feudo passò al fratello Guglielmo, il quale a sua volta lo cedette a Goffredo (per amore fraterno, secondo Goffredo Malaterra).
