Landolf IV DI BENEVENTO, Prince of Capua & Benevento
- Born: Benevento, Napoli, Italy
- Married: Abt 935
- Died: 27 May 961, Capua, Napoli, Italy
Research Notes:
According to the "Catalogus Principum Capuæ", "Atenulfus III et Landulfus II, filii Landulfi" ruled jointly with their father.
"Landulph Rufus filius Landulph Antipatru, germano Athnulph de Calinulu" succeeded his brother in 943 as LANDOLF IV Prince of Capua and Benevento. According to the Annales Beneventani, "Landolfi filii eius [=Landolfus princeps]" ceased to be Prince of Benevento in 944 "in the fourth year of his reign", when his son Pandolf was installed as prince. The Chronicon Vulturnense records a charter dated Aug 945 "sexto anno principatus domni Landulfi…principis et anno secundo domni Pandulfi eius filii". "Landolfus princeps…periit inter Agarenis". The Chronicon Vulturnense records "Landolfus et Pandolfus filius eiusdem…Langobardorum gentis" confirmed the grant of fishery rights "in lacum Patrensem" to the monastery of Volturno, granted by "domna Gemma principissa…genitrice nostra", by charter dated 960. The dating clause of a charter dated May 961, under which "Andreas filius Loperissi" donated property to Cava monastery, refers to the twenty-second year of "domni Landolfi…principis" and the eighteenth year of "principatus domni Paldolfi filii eius".
The Chonicon Monasterii Beneventani records the death in 961 of "Landulphus Princeps" and the succession (in Benevento) of "Landulphus germanus Pandulphi Principis". 1
