AHC and WI: de Hauteville in England, de Normandie in Sicily

The challenge is to give a POD which could make the "de Hauteville" as rulers of England and the "de Normandie" as rulers of Sicily.

Then, what do you think would be the effects in history? Just different names?

The de Hauteville's were a minor family in Normandy. They had little chance of social progression in their own homeland. This is largely why they travelled to warzones like southern Italy to serve the Lombard dukes as mercenaries.
