Laidulf of Capua

Laidulf of Capua

Laidulf (Italian: "Laidolfo") was a son, probably the youngest or second youngest, of Pandulf Ironhead. He probably never expected to inherit much, especially with so many cousins vying for their rightful inheritances. He was the count of Teano. He is implicated, however, in the assassination of his brother, Landenulf, and the archbishop of Benevento in 993.

He succeeded his brother as Prince of Capua. In 994, he gave Sant'Angelo in Asprano to Manso, abbot of Montecassino. He swore to forever defend the abbot's jurisdiction. In 999, the Emperor Otto III came down and avenged the murder of his ally Landenulf. He removed Laidulf from power brought him back a prisoner to Germany. He placed Adhemar on the Capuan throne.

Laidulf may be the father of Gemma, wife of Guaimar IV of Salerno.
