List of princes of Capua

This is a list of the rulers of the Principality of Capua.

Lombard rulers of Capua

Gastalds and counts

The gastalds of Capua were vassals of the princes of Benevento until the early 840s, when Gastald Landulf began to clamour for the independence which Salerno had recently declared. That caused a civil war in Benevento which did not cease for some ten years and by the end of the 9th century Capua was definitively independent.

Princes

In 910, the principalities of Benevento and Capua were united by conquest and declared inseparable. This, and the inevitable co-rule of sons and brothers, causes ceaseless confusion to any historian of the period, even more so to his readers.

* 911–940 Atenulf II, co-ruler
* 940–943 Landulf IV, co-ruler

943–961 Landulf IV the Red, co-ruled from 940
* 943–961 Pandulf I Ironhead, co-ruler
* 959–961 Landulf V, co-ruler
961–968 Landulf V, co-ruling with his brother, also co-ruled from 959
961–981 Pandulf I Ironhead, co-ruling with his brother, also co-ruled from 943, also Duke of Spoleto, Salerno, and Benevento
* 968–981 Landulf VI, co-ruler

In 982, the principalities were finally ripped apart by Pandulf Ironhead's division of his vast holdings and by imperial decree, but the chronology gets no less confusing.

981–982 Landulf VI
982–993 Landenulf II
993–999 Laidulf
999 Adhemar
999–1007 Landulf VII
1007–1022 Pandulf II

1057–1058 Landulf VIII
Norman princes of Capua

These princes were of the Drengot line and served as a counterpoise to the House of Hauteville until it had finally lost all power. The chronology here, too, can be very confusing due to the rivalry between the Robert II and Roger II of Sicily and his sons.

1058–1078 Richard I
1078–1091 Jordan I
1091–1106 Richard II
* 1092–1098 Lando IV, held Capua in opposition to Richard II
1106–1120 Robert I
1120 Richard III
1120–1127 Jordan II
1127–1156 Robert II
* 1135–1144 Alfonso, son of Roger II
* 1144–1154 William, son of Roger II

To the Kingdom of Sicily, where it became an appanage for second sons:

1155–1158 Robert
1166–1172 Henry
