Landulf VII of Capua
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Landulf VII[1] di Sant'Agata[2] (d.1007) was the prince of Capua from 1000 to his death. He was the second son of Landulf III of Benevento, who was only ever a co-ruler. Thus, he was easily removed from the succession on his father's death. His brother Pandulf eventually succeeded in becoming Prince of Benevento.
In 1000, the reigning prince of Capua, Adhemar, was overthrown. The brother of the reigning prince of Benevento was called in. Landulf ruled for seven years. He was succeeded by his young son Pandulf II and by his brother, who ruled Capua as regent and prince as Pandulf III.
[edit] Notes
- ^ Also Landulf IV or V if the first Landulfs who were not princes are ignored.
- ^ Before he was elevated to princely status, he was compensated with the county of Sant'Agata dei Goti, the site of a great fortress.
